Not all vegetables grow well close to each other.
Sometimes this can cause serious problems.
Potatoes and tomatoes
Potatoes and tomatoes are not suitable for proximity, as they are related crops.
They belong to the same family and are susceptible to the same diseases and pests.
Therefore, you should not grow these vegetables nearby.
This can cause diseases and pests to spread too quickly.
Pumpkin and cucumbers
Cucumbers, pumpkins, zucchini are also related crops.
Growing them next to each other can cause problems.
The fact is that these plants are also susceptible to diseases and pests. For example, they are susceptible to powdery mildew.
These vegetables need nutrient-dense soil.
When planted nearby, they will compete for resources and will not be able to grow and develop normally.
Onions and beans
Beans affect soil bacteria and fix nitrogen, onions release an antibacterial gas that kills bacteria in the soil.
Therefore, planting crops nearby may inhibit plant growth.
You can plant carrots next to the onions.
