The advise not to rotate is completely opposite of most knowledge bases. My
personal experience is that if you have the space to rotate then your garden
will benefit. I too have grown tomatoes in the same soil for years but I do
have a serious blight problem.

According to the book "Reader's Digest Organic Gardening for the 21st
Century," tomatoes should not be part of your crop rotation scheme and
should be left in the same bed year after year: "Tomatoes are
narcissistic and do not like to rotate." That hit me as strange, as I
thought tomatoes were fairly prone to soil-borne diseases and would
definitely benefit from regular crop rotation. Any comments from the
tomato gurus in the group?
