Yesterday we saw the basic requirements of the most common vegetables in the pot, regarding the size of the pot, the planting distance, the need for tutoring, etc. Today I bring you one crop association table for urban garden.
It is important to take into account which species the crop we are going to plant is compatible or incompatible with, in order not to sow two in the same container incompatible species that are harmed during their development and seek associate species that mutually benefit.
In general, species of the same botanical families they should not be planted together. If they both absorb the same nutrients and have the same deep roots and require the same amount of water, obviously will compete with each other to survive, harming their development. To know them, you can consult the post of vegetables, by families.
However, there are mutually beneficial familiesBecause one provides the soil with the nutrients that the other needs or because the large one provides the shade that the small one needs, for example.
I attach a table of the Urban garden manual de horturbate, which can serve as a reference for your crops. However, I recommend you also look in our search engine the crop that interests you, because if we have published your file, there will always be a reference to the cultivation associations.
