Why You Need Crop Rotation

The advent of crop rotation was of major significance in the history of agriculture. Using crop rotation ensures that your plants will grow to their fullest potential, and more importantly, it keeps the soil from being drained of vital nutrients. Certain plants use more energy than others, so you need to arrange your plants in a way such that light feeders follow heavy feeders, and that soil replenishing crops are ahead of the heavy feeders.
