An objective look at trees for planting next to a vegetable garden.

In one of my previous posts when talking about the trees that I would not plant next to my vegetable garden to protect it from the wind and create shaded areas I was a little biased.

Yes, I need to make a reservation about the location of my plot of land with a vegetable garden sometimes trees that are contraindicated for my vegetable garden may be useful for other people's vegetable gardens.

So, I said earlier that I would never plant a birch tree around the perimeter of my vegetable garden since it drinks up all the water from the already not very rich in moisture soil of my vegetable garden which is located on the top of a hill.

Yes, in conditions when you need to think about artificial watering the proximity of such voracious trees that are constantly tormented by thirst is not the best option it is contraindicated for me.

But for those gardens that are located in the floodplain of rivers or on peat bogs in marshy areas where groundwater is very close to the soil surface planting birches will be a very correct decision.

And in addition to the fact that birches will drain the marshy soil a little as they grow they will become an inexhaustible factory for the owners of such gardens for the production of useful birch sap.

Therefore speaking about this or that plant, you should be objective in your reasoning fortunately I can go back and reconsider my views on this or that aspect of gardening.
