Great article. Other fantastic resources are the SARE handbook series as well as ATTRA.org I have taken on designing a small sustainable garden as my winter project- the research segment of it alone is blowing my mind! Traditional gardening misses out on so much! Details of my current plan are here:

You rotate crops every season and allow a fallow period after three or four sequential rotations.

I’m not having no luck with crop rotation and many other skills. Would it be okay to write a chapter on solutions for problems with the organic garden?

Im new to the garden and couldnt have told you anything about organic a year back. It works. All my neighbours have asked me how to grow vegetables like I was an expert. When I say its only been a year they drop the jaws. Great stuff. Enjoy your articles Derek.

Permaculture is an integrated system and does not require the type of crop rotation described here. Just thought I’d mention because many permaculturalists also consider themselves organic.

Unless operating within small confines, the recommendation would be to document sequential crop rotations.

It’s been around for such a long time because you get the results. A lot of gardening books combine rotation with companion planting which causes some confusion. I think crop rotation is used by conventional and organic growers but companion planting is a bit more for the organic ones.
