KEY TO CROP ROTATION

This 4-year crop rotation helps protect your garden from soil diseases.
The colours show the group that each plant belongs to.

You should grow plants with the same colour coding in same part of a large
garden bed, but any plants from that colour group should not be grown in the
same part of that bed for at least 3 years.

You can start with any colour.
