Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Mary,

To keep track of crop rotation in my square foot garden, I use graph paper.  
Use whatever scale best suits your needs--since my beds are relatively small 
(4' X 14'), I figure 3 "squares" to a foot.   Note what was planted where & 
when within your scaled grid & when it was harvested.  Then note what was 
planted next & when it was harvested, etc.   I number the beds 1, 2, 3, etc & 
the "grid" square feet a, b, c, etc.  One page per bed takes me through the 
gardening season.  During the winter, I use these records to plan the next 
garden.  This generally consists of moving last's Bed No.1 to Bed No. 2 & Bed 
No. 2 to Bed 3, etc.  I don't achieve perfect crop rotation with this method, 
because there are always adjustments but it does provide a guide to avoid 
planting the same  or similar crop in the same place for consecutive seasons.
