Hi all, hope you have had a lovely Christmas. Last day off work for me today so i have begun my plan for next year and its causing me a slight headache as i am trying my hardest to rotate the crops. The main cause of this headache is the want of growing potatoes which i never did last year. The first picture below shows this years plan and the second shows the best rotation for the following year (in my mind but comments are more than welcome), bar one extremely bad practice, by following this years parsnips with next years carrots in the half brassica and half root bed i had for this year. There are also a couple of other issues whereby i'm missing out a group and moving on to the next as i try to move to a 5 bed system. Will i get away with any of it though?
