2022-08-03 21:21:06 You defs want to rotate, with potatoes it's because of blight in particular, don't plant back in the same possie for 5 years, this allows the microorganisms to die off fully. Treat anything from the same plant family in the same way, so anything solanacae aka nightshades does not get planted in the same spot for five years, so that means tomatoes dont get planted where you had your potatoes etc. Tomatoes can also get blight.

Start to learn which family your vegies come from and rotate by family, not individual veg. Plan your garden by grouping veg according to family, then each year just shift each entire family around together.

You can get way more complicated with it but that's how I do it. Simple works.

Basically rotation reduces the need for pest control, controls the spread of soil borne diseases and avoids nutrient depletion. So with a bit of planning it's less work in the long run, which makes it worth the effort. Open / Comment
