Can anyone advise me on crop rotation please? I'm planning to have 4 areas - potatoes, roots (onions, turnips, beets, carrots, leeks & garlic), brassicas (cabbage, sprouts, psb) and beans (french, runners, broad beans, peas & mange tout) along with fitting in bits like sweetcorn, tomatoes & spinach where ever I can fit them in. My headache is that each book I've read tells me a different order, i.e. potatoes follow brassicas, or roots follow beans and I'm getting in such a tizz 
My other problem is that I manured virtually the whole plot, and I read the other day that neither roots nor potatoes should go in recently manured ground
I've already got my onions & garlic in the groud (unmanured bit), and I've got another bed of brassicas that will probably be empty come March/April (also unmanured) and I've got a bit that measures about 5ft wide x 14ft long that is also unmanured. What should ideally go in after the brassicas? One of the bits that I manured had potatoes in it last year so again I'm not sure what I should grow here?? The rest of the plot has had a good manuring and is currently empty so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
