Hi Everyone,
I’m new and just starting our on the whole allotment thing, I am wanting to separate my plot into 11 raised beds and grow potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, aubergine, peas, beans, cauliflower, broccoli, turnip, Swede, carrots, beetroot, parsnip, pumpkin, squash, cucumber, marrows, courgettes, onions, shallots, spring onions, leeks, spinach, sweetcorn and sweet potatoes and lots of fruit, but thats in a seperate section lol
My 11 raised beds are as follows
1 – Potatoes
2 – Potatoes
3 – Tomatoes, peppers, aubergine
4 – Peas and beans
5 – Cauliflower, broccoli, turnip and Swede
6 – Carrots
7 – Beetroot and parsnip
8 – Pumpkin and winter squash
9 – Summer squash, cucumber, marrow, courgette
10 – Onions, shallots, spring onion
11 – Leeks, spinach, sweetcorn and sweet potatoes.
Now with crop rotation raised beds 1 – 3 are potatoes and tomatoes, raised bed 4 is legumes, raised bed 5 is brassica and raised beds 6 & 7 are Root veg with raised beds 8 – 11 being in the other category.
Have I done this correctly as I’ve seen so much conflicting information! And if this is correct how on earth am I going to rotate them properly when I have only 1 raised bed in two categories??
Thank you in advance for any help offered and sorry for the long post.
