Crop rotation

Crop rotation

If annual vegetable crops are grown in the same place year after year, there is a risk that soil borne pests and diseases will become a problem, and that plant health and vigour will decline. A better system is to move crops around the growing area. This ancient practice, known as rotation, continues to be used today to the benefit of both soil and plants.
