Wasn't this posted the other day or am I losing my mind?
Also, don't you have to rotate where you plant the crops moreso than what they are?
Iirc, and I could be getting this wrong, but different crops take and return different nutrients to the soil. So rotating where they're planted can help prevent depletion of the soil, while you can still use all the land available each season.
Don't forget about fallow crops, when you let the earth rest and the crops to decompose, enriching the soil
Yeah that's a big part as well. Also fallow is such a great word and I rediscovered it when I found an artist named Emma Ruth Rundle who uses it beautifully in at least a couple songs.
You and your knowledge retention! Thank you!
It's what makes me so good at trivia lol.
SabreW4K3 thinks the memes have to take turns lmao
Microblog Memes should aspire to be like crops!
No: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crop_rotation
You keep them where they are. Benefits are:
I'm confused. Either I'm an idiot or you said it's better to not rotate then posted a bunch of reasons why you SHOULD rotate.
Use each field each cycle, but change which crop is on each plot.
So move them?
For one plot plant something like corn one year, beans the next, and wheat/rye the third, carrots the fourth, then back to corn.
I'm just fucking with you but thanks friend.
He was saying no: they stay where they are (rotate crops not the land)
Here are the benefits of it:
Thanks
It was. It’s meme rotation.
Eventually, yes, but it's primarily about what nutrients are in the soil. You can grow tomatoes after potatoes* but that doesn't add any of the nutrients potatoes need back into the soil.
Good pair to choose if you're just guessing though; both being nightshades, their nutrient requirements will be similar. I'm not sure if potatoes need extra calcium like tomatoes though, I would guess not as that's for the sake of the fruit
I saw this the other day too. May have been another community though.
Oh no, we are becoming Reddit. Repost hell!
Not quite that bad :)
At least I know I'm not going mad.
