Rotation

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

Here is a standard one often used in the UK


The same site has other plans for different numbers of years.

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