Crop Rotation
As a gardener you need to look at crop rotation . Even though Crop Rotation isn’t essential it can be very beneficial, especially if you are an organic vegetable gardener. A proper crop rotation can help stop a build-up of pests and diseases. By stopping a build up your vegetables can grow to the strongest and largest they can be. Some people grow potatoes in the same spot time and time again and this often leads to cyst eelworm making a stranglehold on your potato patch. If the cyst eelworm is in you potato patch you won’t be able to grow potatoes for 7 years before the pest is completely eradicated. However if crop rotation had been used you would leave a couple of years in between each rotation. Club root is another bad disease which affects the brassica family because crop rotation isn’t being used. By making sure that you don’t grow brassicas on the same spot time and time again you can prevent club root from damaging your crop. Read Also : All You Need to Know About
