3.How does crop rotation retain soil fertility?

Answer»

As theplants in our vegetable garden feed, they deplete nutrients in the soil. Someplants take more from the soil than others while some actually add nutrients.For these reasons it is important to practise crop rotation to maintain orimprove soil fertility.

It will also help to prevent a build-up of plant pests and disease.If you can bear to do so, also leave some ground fallow (no plants in it) for awhile. With added compost, this will allow the soil to build up its resourcesand cure itself of plant pests and disease.
