Re: rotate

The two key things I look out for are family relationships and rooting
types.   I try not to follow Solanaceous crops like tomatoes, peppers, and
potatoes with eachother.  I also try to rotate deep rooting crops like vine
crops and tomatoes with shallow rooting crops like beets and radishes.  
I'm never totally satisfied with my rotation either, but I just try to do
the best I can.  We grow lots more sweetcorn than anything else, so its
impossible to keep a perfect roation.
