One of the best followers for strawberries is carrots. This crop does not suffer from the same diseases as the berry, and is also not subject to the harmful effects of pests that destroy the roots of the berry.

Legumes are also great for planting, since strawberries remove nitrogen from the soil, and they, on the contrary, saturate the bed in which they grow.

After cultivating and fertilizing the soil, it is permissible to plant zucchini, melons or cucumbers, as well as garlic, which is famous for its antimicrobial properties.
