Malcolm Smith's Allotment
Rotation groups
2012
Below I have listed the groups in which I rotate my crops which basically follows the traditional pattern. I have taken Alan Titchmarsh's article from the BBC Gardners World magazine of March 2011 as my guide but have made some adjustments to suit the space I have available. I would also point out that I have strayed slightly from the plan this year.
