Rotating crops from year to year is a good idea b/c it keeps the soil from
being depleted and inhibits pest populations from gaining a toe hold. In
small gardens, that/s sometimes not practical and/or possible. As long as
you keep amending/enriching the soil and keep after the bugs, you shouldn/t
have any problems.
