What can you plant pepper with in a greenhouse?

Pepper is a popular crop among domestic gardeners. However, unfortunately, most gardeners have to make a choice in favor of certain plants when it comes to organizing their planting. It is worth considering in more detail what you can and cannot plant pepper in a polycarbonate greenhouse.

Cucumbers are neutral neighbors of bell peppers or other peppers. As the culture grows, it will not do any harm and will not become a carrier of dangerous diseases. In addition, cucumbers do not compete with peppers to obtain nutrients for active growth.

The only drawback of planting peppers next to cucumbers is high humidity, it is required by the second, but the former cannot tolerate it. Therefore, it is quite difficult to create optimal conditions that satisfy both cultures at once.

When planting plants nearby, you should take care of timely watering and fertilization. Regularly, peppers and cucumbers will need to be treated with fungicides to prevent the development of diseases.

Tomatoes, like peppers, are classified as nightshades, so both cultures are close relatives. Gardeners note the possibility of planting plants next to each other. The disadvantage of such a decision is the high risk of developing the same diseases or attracting the same type of insects.

Some gardeners are categorically against such a decision. Gardeners are confident that both plants will fight for nutrients and sunlight. As a result, it will turn out that the stems of the crops will stretch out, and the harvest will be meager.

When choosing such a neighborhood, it is recommended to start planting crops in early spring: in late February or early March. In this case, the seeds should be placed in a checkerboard pattern. This solution will allow:

• distribute the sun's rays between varieties;

• accelerate the growth of shoots;

• reduce the risk of pest infestation.

Many argue that eggplant can and should be planted next to the pepper. Arguments:

• both crops have the same ripening period;

• plants need the same type of conditions for active growth and fruiting;

• planting of seeds of both crops occurs together.

If the greenhouse has enough space for several plantings, you can safely plant eggplants near the peppers. To achieve a high quality harvest, it is recommended to regularly ventilate the area. If this is not foreseen, the eggplant will start to ache quickly, and then it will go to the pepper.

Pepper is a demanding plant to grow and care that does not make friends with owners with poor memory. Therefore, it is important not only to choose the right place for planting, but also to surround the plant with pleasant neighbors. Basic rules for choosing other crops.

1. The seedlings must grow in the same microclimate. This means that the neighbors of the pepper should have similar requirements for light, humidity, temperature and other factors.If one plant needs a lot of sun, and another needs abundant watering, it will not work to grow them nearby.

2. Plants don't have to compete for nutrients. It is recommended to plant next to those crops that need different fertilizers, vitamins and microelements for growth and fruiting.

3. If pepper is chosen as the main crop, it is planted in the center of the greenhouse. The rest of the plants are adjacent to the edges.

4. Crops are capable of being pollinated. For example, if two peppers grow nearby: bitter and sweet, then the fruits of both will have bitterness.

5. Light-loving and shade-loving crops can be planted nearby. Then the plants will work in symbiosis.

Mixed planting in a greenhouse is an optimal solution only if there is not enough space in the garden, and even part of the crops cannot be abandoned. However, before planting, it should be borne in mind that some plants require a lot of sun, others suffer from the effects of certain insects or diseases.

When growing peppers outdoors or in a greenhouse nearby, you can plant the following vegetables:

• onion;

• garlic;

• tomato;

• salad;

• basil;

• zucchini;

• carrot;

• corn.

Making a joint bed involves placing peppers at a distance of 40-50 cm from a crop of a different variety or type. If herbs are planned for planting, then they can be placed on the sides of the garden.

For example, you can use a film that is laid vertically from the ground to the top of the structure. This solution:

• organizes its own climatic regime at each site;

• will accelerate the growth of crops in accordance with the given recommendations in accordance with GOST.

This technique is considered optimal. And it will also be possible to divide the cultures among themselves by digging the beds.

Several plants are not suitable as neighbors for pepper.

1. Fennel. The culture will take nutritional components from the pepper, which will lead to the rapid death of the plant.

2. Dill. The plant shades the sun, which is why there is a high probability of the appearance of insects on the leaves and stem of the main crop.

3. Peas, beans, and beans. They suppress the development of pepper in the soil, and also use the plant as a support.

4. Spicy varieties. Don't buy red chili or any other product.

With a competent approach to the selection and planting of crops, it will be possible to ensure a high yield of pepper and a low risk of morbidity. Planting strawberries and peppers nearby will not affect the yield.
