Crop Rotation Farming

At Richmond Vale Academy we want to use a safe organic way to keep pests and disease under control in our vegetable garden.




One of the simplest ways is planting your vegetables based around crop rotation. Crop rotation is all about planting groups of similar vegetables together in a different part of the garden each year. It's important to do this because different crops like different soil conditions. Sweet corn and pumpkin love a rich organical soil, but the same soil conditions would fork carrots and other root crops. Pests and diseases tend to effect vegetable groups and will often remain in the soil for years. But by following a rotation system these pests and diseases can't build up in the soil.

It is the honest hard-working pragmatic, compassionate people of the world that make a difference. The hard-working pragmatic, smart, honest, compassionate, clean, proper, polite, productive people of each country need to take over their respective country and govern their country and themselves; because we need logic, science, fairness, freedom, prosperity, balanced budgets, independence, healthy affordable food and the only way to get this is to give it to ourselves to govern ourselves. .

Thank you for the educational video. Fact is that as our planet's population grows we will need to increase and improve our ability to very quickly, affordable grow the healthy food people need at prices that all people can afford.
