Every year, an experienced gardener draws up a planting plan in order to maintain crop rotation.

If you do not observe crop rotation, then very quickly a fairly large number of pests and diseases will appear in the beds.

It is better to plan plantings in advance, since in the spring the gardener will have other problems.

Let us pay attention to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication Belnovosti and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.

Why is it important to practice crop rotation?

The main rule is that you cannot plant the same crops in the same bed two years in a row.

It is important to understand that you cannot plant not only a specific crop, but also all representatives of the family of such plants.

An experienced gardener who knows the value of hard work makes a hand-drawn map, marking where certain plants grew and what crops can replace them in the next season.

Typically, the garden area is divided into four zones and the plants “migrate” in a circle.
