Rules for Crop Rotation

  • Never follow this years crop with another member of the same family.
  • Arrange your plan so that heavy feeders always follow legumes, which enrich the soil.
  • Potatoes yield best after sweetcorn.
  • Grain crops do best after legumes.
  • Root crops often take a lot out of the soil, so put them before legumes.
  • Having brassicas follow onions is beneficial.
  • Tomatoes are narcissistic and do not like to rotate.
  • Cucumbers and squashes are beneficial to most following crops.
