Bad and good neighbors of parsley
Many good neighbors do not know the parsley. It belongs to the somewhat idiosyncratic herbs, which do not tolerate themselves or other umbelliferae. With a few plants, however, can also draw the parsley as a mixed culture.
Good neighbors of parsley
With some plants, the herbs also tolerate quite well. The prerequisite is that they are not umbelliferae and that the neighbors prefer almost the same soil conditions.
If the conditions are right, the mixed culture plants protect each other against pests and make optimum use of the soil.
A good example is onions. When you sow cabbage-parsley between the rows of onions, you are selling both the onion fly and the carrot fly, which otherwise causes much damage to the parsley.
Plants that are suitable for mixed culture with parsley
Mixed culture for parsley roots
Good neighbors for parsley roots are:
Put marigolds to parsley
In order to prevent the infestation by nematodes and earth fleas, you can very well plant marigolds in the vicinity of the parsley. Maintain the bed well so that the marigold does not overgrow the parsley.
Salad is a bad neighbor
On the plate, salads of all kinds go well with parsley - on the bed this neighborhood does not work at all. Never plant salad and parsley together.
Parsley is incompatible with itself
Like all umbelliferae, parsley should never be planted on the same bed for two consecutive years. At least three years, better even four years, should be no Umbelliferae in the same location.
These include:
So you have to look for a different bed for your parsley every two years. If you do not follow this tip, you are not just leaching the floor too much. They also promote the proliferation of nematodes and other pests.
Tips & Tricks
If you manage a larger garden, you quickly lose track of where and when which plants stood. Every year for safety's sake, make a plan to record the location of one and two year old vegetables, herbs and flowers.
