Avoid: fresh allium row next to beans/peas
AvoidOnions / garlic (active row) with Beans or peas
Folk guidance plus some field experience: very close alliums can slow legumes for unclear reasons—separate rows or time succession so peaks do not overlap.
In the garden
- A path or two feet of neutral crops (lettuce, dill) between rows is plenty on a home scale.
Spacing & timing
Succession plant beans after early onion harvest if the bed is small.
