Gardening Methods

Rotating the plants in my garden question?

Getting spring fever, and planning my strategy. I know you can’t plant tomatoes in the same area year after year, but I have ran out of space. Can I go every third year or do I need to make my garden bigger? Thanks!

Actually, it depends on how many years you have planted the tomatoes in the same area. You can send a soil sample to your local county extension agency and have it analyzed (do it soon, spring is upon us:) If you amend your soil every year and it’s for your own home use, you’re fine, you don’t even need a third year interlude if the soil analysis comes back in order.
