Lettuce is an unpretentious crop. You can grow this in different conditions.
What plants should not be grown near lettuce
Some plants negatively affect the lettuce harvest.
Sunflowers add substances that are toxic to lettuce to the soil.
In addition, sunflowers can shade other plants, which interferes with their growth and development.
Nasturtium is also not suitable for growing lettuce.
This plant spreads quickly and takes over everything around it.
Therefore, nasturtium can take nutrients away from lettuce and impair growth and development.
Cauliflower can also deplete soils around other plants, including lettuce.
This vegetable can also attract a pest to the garden, such as a caterpillar, which feeds on the foliage of plants.
Celery is also an undesirable companion for salad.
Celery causes lettuce to shoot arrows and produce seeds faster. This can degrade the taste of the crop.
Pumpkin is a climbing plant that will also take up a lot of space next to the salad and take away resources - moisture and nutrients.
Therefore, you should not grow pumpkin or any other climbing plants next to lettuce.
