I didn't rotate my tomatoes one year because I changed my <a href="https://theepicawakening.withknown.com/2019/crop-rotation" rel="nofollow">crop rotation</a>crop rotation plans and ended up with a bad case of blight. Won't do that again. (Plus I read not to compost store-bought tomatoes because they can spread blight. So I stopped doing that, just in case.) Generally, I rotate my raised beds like this (but I still tweak things now and then, and add other minor crops to these main ones): Year 1 is cukes and cabbage family. Year 2 is tomatoes/peppers. Year 3 is legumes. Year 4 is zucchini. Year 5 is tomatoes/peppers. Year 6 is garlic/onions. Year 7 is compost and letting the bed rest (a biblical concept). I try to keep two years between planting plants in same spot. It's still a work in progress. But it's fun work.<br /><br />Alicia climenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15674760905350354653noreply@blogger.com
