Seed bed and crop rotation

[nerobot]

Does crop rotation need to be taken into account when growing seedlings in a seed bed? For example, could you plant cabbages in the same part of the seed bed year after year? Would that not cause problems (i.e. the reason for using a crop rotation on the veg-patch)? Don't think that you could do much rotation in teh seed bed because most things that need transplanting from seed bed (i think) are brassicas.

I never worry about rotation in the seed bed. Things aren't there long enough for disease to build up. It's only when the crop is grown to maturity that there are problems.

Best of luck

Because I usually grow a mixture of plants in a seed bed I usually rotate it's position or change the top spit of soil if I want to keep it in the same area.
Clubroot does not respect the amount of time your brassicas are in the soil, one day is no different to one year for infection purposes!

All sounds good then.
