What to grow here next
Growing the same crop family in the same soil year after year builds up its pests and drains the nutrients it needs. Rotating crops breaks that cycle. Tell us what grew in a bed last, and we'll map out a simple four-year plan.
Rotation matters most for the four families above, which suffer the worst build-up of soil pests and disease. Salads, herbs, courgettes and sweetcorn are relaxed and can slot in anywhere as fillers. A three or four bed system makes this easy to keep track of year to year.
