Title: Rotation
Post by: Penninehillbilly on May 28, 2019, 11:51:39 am

Hi, anyone use a 4 year rotation?
I'm trying to get veg garden running again, bit late I know.
But I have potatoes, followed by brassica, which comes next, P&B, or roots?
TIA

Apparently brassicas follow peas/beans as they need alot of Nitrogen in the soil for their leafy growth.
