These examples may be used in your garden, if you so desire - though everyone's soil, climate and tastes vary so a little adaption will most likely be required. There are many methods to crop rotation some are simple like the one just shown but others can get quite complicated, some even include a 'fallow year', which is a year where nothing is grown in that particular bed. There are many things you may want to incorporate into your rotation schedule although the general and most basic rule of thumb is the longer you can leave between the same crop grown in the same spot the better.
