Crop rotations

[OverWyreGrower]

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

I agree with TEB. Tatties,brassicas,legumes,others (including roots)!

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.

We divide our plot into brassicas, roots, legumes and cucurbits/flowers...keep an eye on the blog as i'll have a (bit over the top!!!) planting plan for next year up very very soon!

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