Crop Rotation.. Confused!
I have just taken over an allotment and am in the process of clearing
all (well most?) of the nasty weeds etc by the end of the summer. I plan to divide the allotment into 6 parts. One part is for permanent crops like fruit and the remaining five would rotate in the following order: Legumes, followed by Brassicas, followed by Fallow, followed by Potatoes, followed by Onions/Roots I have read a number of articles on google and they all seem to offer different rotations. For example some suggest following Brassicas by Legumes; others suggest the reverse. Does the plan, that I outlined above , seem OK? Or is it flawed.? (The fallow bed is to allow me a chance to do deep deep cleaning of weeds and will also provide a space for me to bed out some plants like Wallflowers that I grow from seed before I transfer then to their final positions in the autumn in the flower garden at home.)
