Сabbage with heads

Any head varieties of cabbage compete with tomatoes for the same resources. As a result, both lose - they grow poorly and produce a weak crop. Even worse, both plants attract the same pests.

Fennel

This herb has the ability to release from its roots substances that inhibit the growth of neighboring plants. It is tomatoes that are most affected by these substances.

Dill

While the fragrant herb is young, it and tomatoes can even be useful alone. But as it grows, dill begins to devour resources - deplete the soil and even obscure sunlight, which is so necessary for tomatoes to ripen. Therefore, with such a neighbor, the vegetable will grow squishy and give a poor harvest.

Potatoes

Tomatoes and potatoes are biologically related. This is why they are prone to the same diseases and attract the same pests. Thus it is easy to lose both crops at once.

Broccoli and tomatoes are two very useful vegetables that cannot, however, get along side each other. They need the same nutrients in the soil and will take them away from each other.
