How do I use the crop rotation in an herb garden?
I desinging an herb garden, but can not seem to find any information on the use of crop rotation practices with my annual herbs. This is a small garden, 27 ', 29' with a path liquidation, so that all beds are of different sizes and irregular shapes. I am designing for a school project and the information I go to the extreme points not really need to use crop rotation of grass, but the assignment calls for a system of rotation.
Crop rotation is a technique to ensure they do not exhaust the soil by rotating crops, you get the opportunity to recupperate fallow fields and "replace" in nutrients than plants need. In a small garden, it is not necessary because you can just add a layer of compost each year (potting, molding work compost, etc.). This ensures that the soil does not become "sterile" and can still support vigorous plant growth. If you do not have to turn chhoice but because a project or task, there are two ways to do it. 1) the light areas several plants, but only one each year is rotated to a new lot for each parcel is used only once every several years - his technique is used in very poor soils and gives each piece a long time to recover. 2) More commonly used is 3 / 4 method - deactivates four plots and the only plant 3. Then turn the next year for a parcel of age do not use the second year. This ensures that each parcel receives 1 year to recover in 4. As I said, the rotation is rarely used today due to fertilization techniques, but can befound Stil in some of the world's poorest regions. The bar-and-burn technique anotther poster mentioned is the method of fertilization, burning the rest of the crop thats not used (for example the stem of the maize plant) burned ashes fertilize the ground. Good luck
