It doesn’t mean popping outside every day and rotating vegetables (but if a raised bed is built with lockable wheels then this isn’t so crazy as you can turn the bed so every side of your plant gets sunlight). Crop rotation is growing a series of different types of crops in the same area throughout the growing seasons. By ge ing behind this practice, you’ll improve soil health, optimise nutrients in the soil and help combat pests and weeds.
