Why Crop Rotation Works in Garden Beds: Protect Crops from Diseases
You can continue to plant the same crops in the beds, but after two seasons, certain problems will appear in the garden.
Plants require nutrients and they cannot grow well in the same place year after year.
Therefore, a summer resident who uses a crop rotation system has a much larger harvest.
Let us pay attention to the explanations of the expert of the online publication Belnovosti and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
Why is it important to practice crop rotation?
If you plant crops in the same place, the beds will quickly turn into a breeding ground for diseases and pests.
To properly rotate plants, you need to know which family they belong to.
Representatives of the same family cannot be planted in the same place. You also need to know other things.
For example, legumes will grow well after cruciferous vegetables, and celery plants will grow well after nightshades and legumes.
Green manure can also be used in crop rotation.
