Do you NEED to Rotate Your Crops?



We’ve all heard you need to rotate your crops for a healthy organic vegetable garden. How do you rotate your crops?
Do you need to practice crop rotation for success? Or is there another easier way. Easy crop rotation? No crop rotation? In this video I’ll explain what crop rotation is, show you two different methods and show you what I do instead of rotating my crops every year.

    You'd think just amending soil would be enough and adding fertilizer? And loosen the soil, perlite, vermiculite, shovel, add fresh soil. Oh…. disease and pests. Hmm?🤔

    SUGGESTION: When you say you amend soil and fertile, could you go into a little more detail as to what one should/could use. Things you may use besides just compost, like azomite or cascade minerals, alfalfa pellets, humic acid, worm casting etc and how much. I think there are many new Gardners that could really benefit from this info. I use Trifeca for main fertilizer but then switch up in growing season. Thank you for this informative video as this year I have been struggling with this issue.

    Great information! I wouldn’t be able to do it, even the easier way, I doubt. Far too many tomato plants in ratio to everything else.

    Whike amendment will fix soil fertitality rotating crops grows differient microbes growing in your soil and disease mitigation.

    Excellent presentation! 👍 As you state, crop rotation is most desirable. But as you also stated, there are other means.
    Best example is the Morrow Plots @ my Alma Mater, University of Illinois. One section has been planted in continuous corn since 1876! That's 147 straight years of corn in one plot.
    You're doing a great job of no BS presentations & I look forward to each of them.

    you are clairvoyant!! I was just wondering about this, my tiny garden is all raised beds and pots so crop rotation is a luxury I cannot afford…I use Dr Zymes now for the beginning of the season for pest and disease, and compost, chicken poo, and neptunes harvest for amendment …so far so good!!

    I just told Acre Homestead to visit your channel you'll tell her everything she needs to know on how to help her garden! And get your book it has helped me out a lot.. Thanks for all your hard work teaching us about gardening!!

    Hello Brian,
    I am growing corn for the 1st time and it is doing well, Can you tell me how to keep it from getting worms in the ears using organic methods? Very much appreciate all you do for us

  19. Rachelle Mazar

    I love your book and have been using it to manage my garden with great results. I only have two 4×8 beds so I appreciate that last bit about interplanting if there isn’t room for rotation.

  20. Rubysgardens

    We just completed at the beginning of May our two 4 x 8 raised bed gardens from your enthusiasm. They both have tomato trellises in them from built from the mulberry branches that my neighbor threw in his backyard, and I repurposed I have a lot of those left for other purposes, including holding up my shade cloth over my roses because we live in the CA Central Coast and the roses burn. Please keep telling us what to do because even after more decades than you are alive I keep learning thank you.

    I did just spray my tomato leaves with Epsom Salt this morning…oops! 🙈 How soon after can I use the aspirin spray?? And 600mg aspirin to 1 gallon of water??

  24. Debbie Wheeler

    Another great video! You do such a wonderful job of explaining gardening practices and alternative ways for home gardeners to address the same issues.

  25. Amanda Patterson

    I watched this video specifically on the dedicated-tomato-trellis issue. What do you amend the soil with each year?

  26. Plant Obsessed

    Yeah free style is more me. I am hoping the interplanting will solve some of my issues. So far so good. Thanks for the great videos 👍🏼

  27. walter ray davis jr

    I mix flowers in the vegetable beds as you do Brian does this alter the complex interplay in a raised bed? Maybe to complicated to answer..

  29. Tonya Boyer

    Super good info thank you! This is what I struggle with. I have 8 beds 8 trellis and inground, so not much room to move my crop around. I'm guilty of planting my beans, and my peppers in the same spot every year! I do amend my soil though, and mulch thick with straw.
