Owners of small plots, for whom literally every meter of land is valuable, often wonder how to maintain a crop rotation with minimal losses for harvest volumes, and do it so that none of the necessary crops is left uncovered. Compliance with the rules of crop rotation is really very important - if you ignore these rules, the soil will gradually deplete, and also become clogged with pathogens of all kinds of ailments and gluttonous pests. What can you plant after bell pepper?
What exactly shouldn't be planted?
Bell pepper is absolutely incompatible with all its relatives from the Solanaceae family, that is, after it, under any pretext, eggplants or tomatoes, as well as potatoes or any kind of hot pepper should not be planted! This does not mean that they will not grow at all, it is just that over time they will very much deplete the soil. Moreover, it is not recommended to plant nightshade crops not only before or after each other, but also just next to each other! Particularly unacceptable is considered to be the neighborhood of hot peppers with sweet peppers - cross-pollination can easily lead to the fact that all fruits, without exception, will eventually acquire a bitter aftertaste. So, the various members of the Solanaceae family should ideally be placed at a very decent distance from each other!
You should not plant after Bulgarian peppers and representatives of the Pumpkin family: zucchini with squash, as well as pumpkin or cucumbers - just like in the case of the aforementioned nightshade crops, they will create completely unbearable conditions in the beds, not only gradually depleting the soil, but also accumulating in it by themselves the toxic compounds emitted by themselves. At the same time, despite the fact that all kinds of pumpkin crops grow after bell pepper it is extremely unimportant, they are great predecessors for it!
Neutral cultures
They have absolutely no influence (neither bad nor good) on the quality of growth and development of the crops planted after them. And, fortunately, the choice of summer residents in this case is very rich, since there are a lot of neutral cultures! So, after sweet pepper, you can safely plant various varieties of beets (both fodder and sugar or traditional table), any types of cabbage (and despite the timing of its growing season), carrots, radishes, all kinds of spicy herbs, herbs, spinach, all without exception types of lettuce, celery and radish with turnips, garlic with onions, as well as beans, peas or beans. All these cultures grow remarkably after peppers!
It is especially good to plant various root crops after the predecessor in the form of bell pepper - the root system of peppers lay at a relatively shallow depth, and the main root of root crops is able to reach deep soil layers, thereby allowing the surface soil layers to "rest"!
The best choice
A wide variety of cereals, as well as all kinds of green manure or clover for mowing, respond best to the predecessor in the form of sweet pepper. But vegetables in the "ideal" list of followers are really absent, but in this case it is quite possible to plant any crops from the category of neutrals after pepper. The almost complete absence of one hundred percent ideal followers who can safely plant after pepper is largely due to the fact that during its growth and development, sweet pepper not only absorbs almost all nutrients from the soil, but also leaves behind a fairly decent amount of all kinds of toxins. in one way or another infecting the soil. That is why, in the case of bell pepper, we can only talk about the relative permissibility of growing certain garden crops after it.
