I guess that it is the season for the great rotation debate, again. I
rotate tomatoes because I learned from my parents over 60 years ago that
you should rotate. Does anyone have any hard scientific support for
rotation?

For over 20 years I have been driving past a commercial tomato field of
at least 10 acres and every year the plants look healthy, without
rotation. Why do I need to rotate ? With limited space, it is a serious
restriction.
