Switching the garden beds

Tip of the Day

Plant rotation is important because different plants deplete different nutrients in the soil so now is the time to create next summer's garden on paper. You don't need to rebuild beds, just reposition the plantings. If you have had tomatoes in the same place for years, move them to another part of the garden. Rotating planting positions gives the soil time to recover. Planning also gives you the chance to figure out a garden budget and to grow from seed, so much cheaper than buying seedlings from the nursery.
