    Crop rotations

    We've got 4 lovely big beds to plant stuff in, but all the books I've read have only got 3 crop groups, plus a group of "anywhere" plants (e.g. salad crops etc)

    Is it worth putting all these anywhere-plants into the rotation in their own bed (e.g. roots, legumes, brassicas, other) or can I keep them in the same bed and rotate around them?

    Cheers

    I always give spuds their own bed and include that in the rotation, the anywhere group I get in where there space

      Works for me anyway!

        I divide my plot into brassicas, onions / roots, spuds and legumes.

        Then fill in the gaps with salads and other short term crops.

            you could have one bed as "permanent" ie. raspberries, sparrow grass, strawbs, rhubarb etc

              I use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
