Autumn is not yet a reason to forget about the rules of crop rotation, or rather, it is high time to remember in order to prepare the beds for the new season..
To avoid the spread of diseases, restore the structure and fertile soil layer, you need to know what to sow in the vacated beds..
Our magazine expert Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an agronomist and landscape designer, told us what to sow in the place where onions and garlic grew.
First, you need to remember that the popular opinion that the soil should rest after summer, so there is no need to plant or sow anything, is not the most correct.
One way or another, the bed will be overgrown with weeds, which will only worsen the situation.
At a minimum, you need to think about sowing green manure, which will serve as fertilizer and a means of improving the soil.
Mainly, they will prevent the growth of weeds and scare away some pests.
There is also an alternative option.
It is believed that after onions and garlic, the condition of the soil can be improved with the help of daikon.
In addition to the fact that before the onset of cold weather it will be possible to collect a useful harvest, during this time daikon will perfectly cope with loosening the soil and make it moisture- and air-permeable in the garden bed.
