Title: Crop Rotation
Post by: willnbirdie on June 06, 2008, 22:24

Hi

We are planning a 4 bed rotation system - but thinking ahead for next year we have been told that it is not necessary to rotate runner beans.  Is this true?  Where they are in the garden is a fantastic spot and the wigwams fit perfectly so if no need to move then that would be great - any advice appreciated

Thanks

I rotate my beans, but it isn't necessary.  If you've got a nice spot, just make sure they get plenty of nice rotted manure dug in during the autumn ready for the next season's beans!
