The ultimate way to deal with the diseases and insect pests of growing vegetables on the balcony is to use crop rotation to solve your worries.

Balcony vegetable rotation

Ah. The most annoying thing about growing vegetables on the balcony is the diseases and insect pests, don't you think?

Medication is not good, this is at home, on the balcony of home.

The use of food management, the effect is slow to doubt life.

How can you get rid of this nasty disease and insect pest?

When you have tried your best and still have little effect, you might as well offer the ultimate way to prevent and control balcony diseases and insect pests: rotation!

The so-called crop rotation means that different kinds of vegetables are planted in a planned way on the same piece of land.

In general, growing the same kind of vegetables on the same piece of land for a long time will lead to a reduction in yield.

One: different plants have corresponding diseases and insect pests.

When a vegetable is planted on a piece of land, the corresponding disease bacteria and eggs of the vegetable will be left in the soil.

If you still grow the same vegetables in this field, it is tantamount to deliberately killing these vegetables.

On the other hand, the corresponding diseases and insect pests of this vegetable may not pose a threat to another vegetable, or even be restrained.

Yes, this can effectively reduce the harmful substances in the soil.

Second, different plants need different nutrients.

In other words, growing the same vegetable on the same piece of land for a long time will lead to an imbalance in the nutrients of the land, resulting in less and less nutrients needed for the vegetable and can not be adequately supplied.

The unabsorbed nutrients in the soil are likely to be the favorites of another kind of vegetable.

Wow, finding such a combination of rotation plants is really a twice the effort and labor-saving task!

Therefore, for various considerations, rotation is the only choice for us to grow on the balcony.

However, not all vegetables can be rotated.

For example, eggplant, tomato and pepper are not suitable.

For example, Chinese cabbage, rape, radish and other cruciferous vegetables are not suitable.

For example: green onions, leeks, garlic and so on are not suitable.

The reason is very simple, they are close relatives, in gene combination and growth environment and other aspects are very similar. Even if the crop rotation, it will not use any effect.
