Hi,

I wonder could anyone throw any light on this. There is crop rotation and successional planting, let's forget complementary for a second.

I read in a gardening magazine that you can plant late brassicas (according to one of my gardening books, group A) after e.g. beans (group C) and kale (group A) after new potatoes (group A). I can possibly follow the first suggestion, i.e. brassicas after beans, but will the 2nd one work? How does that affect crop rotation for next year? Do I then put carrots or parsnips in the beds that I used for either of those next year or how do I go about it?

I am also rather confused on the different classifications, one of my books puts leeks in group A (a 3-year rotation system), another one puts leeks with all the other allium groups (4-year crop rotation). Can anyone suggest a crop rotation system that I can follow, i.e. see the logic in?

Thank you in advance for any useful suggestions!

Regards,
