The new season will bring an amazing harvest of zucchini if you choose the right place to plant them.
It is no secret that the yield of many crops is affected not only by fertilizers. Much also depends on the place where the zucchini will grow.
First of all, it should be a sunny place. But it is important that at midday or in the afternoon the plantings are in the shade.
The scorching sun won't do any good to the zucchini either.
Therefore, it could be a bed near a fence, a fruit tree or an outbuilding.
In addition, it should be taken into account that the vegetable does not grow well in acidic soils.
A good place for a bed of zucchini would be a plot where potatoes, onions, beets, cabbage, carrots or legumes grew last season.
It is also worth making sure that cucumbers, pumpkins, squash, melons, and watermelons do not grow near zucchini.
Also, this crop, like many other vegetables, does not like stagnant water. It is not recommended to plant zucchini in a lowland.
Excess moisture can lead to root rot and the development of a number of diseases, which will ultimately reduce the yield.
