Crop rotation is one of the most important weapons in an organic gardener’s arsenal. This quick video explains how to set up a simple crop rotation plan.

Crop rotation is key to a successful organic vegetable garden. Rotating crops from one area to another helps to prevent diseases and pests from building up in a certain area, and it can also help to enrich the soil and provide additional benefits to the crops that come later.

However, it can also be somewhat difficult to keep your crop rotation plan organized if you grow a lot of different crops.

An avid gardener since childhood, I love sharing my passion for gardening with others! I have gardened in a number of different climates and settings, from large fenced garden plots, to tiny patio and container gardens, and I firmly believe that everyone can learn to grow at least some of their own food - no matter where you live. Growing your own food can help you take control of your own health and food supply, and there has never been a better time to get started!
