Hi, can anyone help me with rotation, please?
I have three vegetable beds and in 2018 they had:
1. leeks, peas, beans, salad leaves, chard. Bed had topping of compost and manure.
2. carrots, celery, beetroot. Bed had topping of compost.
3. broccoli, cauliflower, cabbages. Bed had topping of compost and manure.
When we harvested the stuff in bed 3, I planted some winter brassicas so the bed is full again and coming on OK (bar the sprouts). The peas/beans harvested in bed 1 left space so I planted the remaining brassicas in there, which I guess we will harvest in the coming months.
The plan for 2019 was to do bed 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and 3 to 1. Because we have planted out again in 2018 to try and maximise harvest, I am confused about the rotation. Is it per year or per season?
Can someone advise, please? I can't really work it out despite a fair bit of reading but not sure what the consequence is of getting it wrong.
Any advice would be warmly received.
Thanks,
Neil.
