Personally I follow potatoes with garlic and onions.

I read that legumes were good cause they fix the nitrogen in the soil. I would guess something that likes slightly more acidic soil though, assuming you manured well before planting the spuds.

+1 for garlic. It's almost time to plant. Well, depends on your area

50 x 15 yards of Garlic?

That's a heck of a lot

You could try sowing some broad beans in afew weeks (bit early now) as legumes folow potatoes on the four year rotation plan already given above.

(The one I use  )

I am not trying early BB's this year after last year's disasters, so have already dug in compost etc for the runners next year and covered the ebd with black plastic, weighted with planks.
