Plant Rotation: Rotation of Crops, Succession, and Companion Cropping

by OLIVER MIA

The moment you hear about crop rotation, you start to think about a method where you are going to be growing different crops in a more or less regular sequence on the same land. This is normally applied to systematic crop production throughout the growing seasons every year. Large groups of the same crop make an easy target for pests. For this reason, non-organic commercial growers feel compelled to spray the whole area with pesticides. Soil nutrients are depleted when the ground is occupied by a large number of the same type of plant. This problem is compounded if the ground is used for the same crop next season often the soil becomes so impoverished that artificial fertilizers are needed. And soil subjected to the same mechanical processes year after year will inevitably become compacted.This book will help you start a very productive garden.
