Re: crop rotation advise needed.

Squash would be worth trying. Cucumbers and melons are both susceptible to fusarium, most melons to verticillium. There are some strawberry varieties resistant to verticillium, so you might try finding them.

Yes- part of the reason I built the new raised gardens was due to this wilt.
I used to only have one place to plant and now I have 3 places! So, just
trying to pick something unlikely to be effected for the "bad" area. What
about squash and melons??

Theresa,
You should not plant any tomatoes, peppers, or potaoes in that spot for
3 years. I would recommend beans, peas, lettuce, etc be planted in that
spot. How big is the garden? Can you divide it so that no crop repeats
itself in any one spot for 3 years?

Hi all-


 The place I usually plant my tomatos apparently has
verticillium
or fusarium (can't recall which right now)wilt. I understand that it is
virtually impossible to remove this from the soil and that I shouldn't
plant
tomaotos, peppers or potatos there. So, what is ok to plant there? How
many years should i wait before I plant tomotos there again??

Thanks for any help-

Theresa
