Autumn planting into a rotation system?

onions & garlic in the beds you're growing in next year, but am not sure why you're planting spuds in the ground in the autumn

Thank You. I suspected as much but just thought I'd check.

The Spuds are sold as Autumn planting seed potatoes for an Xmas crop!

I think you'll find they need to be grown in a planter/sack/container & under cover in a poly or greenhouse to get a crop for christmas.....sorry

There's two basic types of rotation.

Annual crop rotation where all (alliums for instance) in a single year are planted in the same bed.

True crop rotation where you never follow like with like.

I personally prefer the second type as if you have pests, disease or nutrient shortage for the first crop of alliums for instance you will most certainly have it for the second crop!
