I wanted to name this “Ignoring the (Crop Rotation) Experts,” but that title is way too loaded these days! However, in terms of crop rotation, I increasingly find the rigidity of ideas on how to do it chafing. Crop rotation is one of the funny areas in gardening full of super rigid ideas and proscriptions.
