What and how much to plant in the family garden: a summary table and recommendations
Mixed planting of vegetables in the garden is practiced in almost all household plots. Summer residents try to plant different plants in small quantities, and not plant the entire garden with one species. In this case, it is required to focus on specific rules, taking into account compatibility and landing dates. So, what and how much to plant in the garden for the needs of the whole family?
What to consider when boarding
To get a good harvest in the garden, you need to take into account a number of important factors. In this case, you should focus on the following rules:
- Choose only those vegetables that suit the climate of the region. So, planting eggplants or bell peppers in the north is useless. In such areas, there is not enough heat and sun to grow such crops.
- Distribute space rationally. At the same time, it is worth giving preference to those crops that grow well in a particular type of soil.
- Don't plant too many vegetables. It is better to plant 10 pepper bushes and provide them with daily quality care. If you plant too many plants, the summer resident will become a hostage to his site. In this case, he will have to spend a lot of time and effort.
- Fertilize and prevent crop diseases. This will make it possible to harvest the maximum yield from the minimum area.
- Get rid of weeds in a timely manner. It creates an extra shadow that prevents fruits and vegetables from receiving the sun.
If the site is located in the shade most of the time, you should choose shade-tolerant varieties. With frequent exposure to direct sunlight, cucumbers and cabbage will have to be shaded. This is due to the fact that they are 90% liquid.
