Fix.com describes how to best plan for crop rotation, even when you plan to grown the same things over the years. They explain how to plan simple ways to achieve rotations, and they detail how it works to the benefit of your garden using three different beds of crops. Rotating your home-garden crops every three years leads to better soil, fewer pests and weeds, and better yields from your garden.
Key Takeaways:
- Crop rotation is perhaps the most fundamental practice of any grower working any plot of land anywhere in the world.
- The benefits are well known and apply to both organic and conventional (chemical) management programs.
- Crop rotation is essentially free because the only ‘cost’ involved is the time spent planning.
