Suggests a 10-year rotation. But I get dizzy just thinking of the complications. What if I sell the house before 10 years are up? Should the rotation plan be in my will? I use a system that’s easy to implement and easy to remember without a notebook. I separate my crops based on their nutritional requirements. It so happens that the plants fall pretty neatly into leafy crops, fruiting crops, and root crops. A fourth division is for legumes—peas and beans—which technically are fruits, but they get their own plot because they actually add more nutrients to the soil than they take.
If you’re not using cover crops, you’ll need to add manure to each bed every year. rotate the crops! Because these four crop types need different nutrients from the soil, the key to proper growth is rotation. During the next growing season, Bed 1 replaces Bed 4, Bed 2 replaces Bed 1, Bed 3 replaces Bed 2, and Bed 4 replaces Bed 3. As long as you cycle your beds properly, your plants will thrive. bed 1: leaf crops Leaves love nitrogen, so the plants in this group need plenty of nitrogen to build strong stems and leaves.
Watering the soil rather than the leaves and mulching the ground with straw will keep the water from splashing onto the lower leaves and stems. This can help prevent diseases from spreading. Some gardeners even remove the lower leaves of tomato plants once they are well established to prevent them from picking up diseases from the ground. I plant herbs like cilantro and dill near my tomatoes and let them go to flower. They attract beneficial insects that keep pests, such as hornworms, under control.
