Crop rotation is a practice celebrated by farmers and gardeners alike. It involves growing different types of crops in the same area across a sequence of growing seasons. This ancient technique offers a multitude of benefits:
- Enhanced Soil Fertility: Different crops contribute to different soil nutrients, keeping the soil fertile and productive.
- Pest Control: Rotating crops disrupts pest and disease cycles, reducing their prevalence.
- Improved Soil Structure: Varying root depths and structures prevent soil compaction and enhance aeration.
- Increased Yields: Healthier soil and controlled pests lead to more robust crop yields.
