The reason for crop rotation isn't just to avoid blight.
It is a reason, but not the main reason?
Other pests and diseases?
Am I right in saying that for eg: bean plants fix nitrogen into the
soil for next years brassiccas? then potatoes, then carrots and
parsnip?
A lot of questions from me. Most of us cannot have a 4 year rotation,
