Help with crop rotation

Sorry don't really understand your list of vegetables as a rotation. What are you putting together in each bed or section?

**veggiechicken** · 14-09-2013, 09:46 PM

How many beds is that?

Each coloum is a section I.e.

First plot would be cabbage etc
Second plot beans etc
Third plot garlic etc
Fourth cucumber etc

And then rotate year after year

Still confused

Is that 8 years of rotation?

**WendyC** · 14-09-2013, 10:09 PM

I have four beds.
Potatoes
Onions and other roots
Brassicas
Beans which also includes sweetcorn, courgette, celery as that's where the space generally is.

Potatoes move into the onion bed and so on. Salad stuff ( lettuce, cucumber) just fits in where there is a space.
My strawberries are in the fruit cage and when they need replacing I'll have to think where they go!

Why don't you follow Wendy's plan?

**Andrewtheface** · 15-09-2013, 06:29 AM

I will, but being new to this I find it confusing. Out of the list I have mentioned I just want to know what would go where?

From your list I would grow these together ( others may disagree!)
1. Potatoes
2. Garlic, onions, leeks, carrots, beetroot, shallots.
3. Cabbage, spinach
4. Broad beans, French beans, peas,
Go anywhere are: cucumber, radish, courgette, pepper, celery, tomatoes, fennel, sweetcorn, chilli, lettuce, spring onions.
Strawberries won't really fit in your rotation as they will be in the same bed for 3 maybe 4 years.
Hope that helps.
