found the following info on the web... Quote: For instance, heavy nitrogen feeders like lettuce tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, cabbage, and corn, do well to follow heavy nitrogen givers like beans and peas. Light nitrogen feeders like root vegetables can give the soil a rest before heavier feeders come again. This is called crop rotation, and it is a type of companion planting over time. Also Broccoli is a heavy feeder, cole is also Hopefully if we compile a list it will help others in the future |
