Crop rotation is key to a successful vegetable garden after the first year. It's important to grow vegetables in different areas of your garden each year to keep them healthy and combat pests

This video explains a simple colour-coded method of crop rotation that makes the whole process much simpler and shows how the Garden Planner software can help.
