What not to plant next to onions in the garden
There are a number of plants and vegetable crops that should not be planted close to onions in the garden.
Experienced gardeners do not recommend growing onions next to peas, beans, beans, asparagus, pumpkin, peppers, and zucchini.
The fact is that these crops compete with onions for nutrients in the soil or attract the same pests.
Remember, the worst neighbors for onions are turnips, beets, late-ripening potatoes, carrots, and cabbage.
With such a neighborhood, the onion will not receive enough nutrients from the soil and will grow tasteless.
How to feed onions to make them large
In order for the onions to be large, juicy and tasty, it is important to fertilize the plant regularly.
It is best to use mineral or organic fertilizers as top dressing.
For example, manure, compost, potassium salt, wood ash, nitrophoska.
Onions like to grow in slightly alkaline or neutral soil.
Therefore, it is useful to add wood ash and mustard cake under digging.
A large amount of organic matter or poorly rotted manure, compost should not be added to the bulbs.
Wood ash is an excellent fertilizer for onions in mid-summer - July.
This fertilizer is rich in microelements such as nitrogen.
