∙ 10y agoCrop rotation means growing different things in your fields each year. Crops have different needs, and they also have different effects on the soil. Moving them around in your fields means that soil nutrients do not become exhausted, also pests are less likely to home in on a particular area. Commonly one area will be left to 'lie fallow' for a season i.e. nothing will be grown on it. This system goes back to the Middle Ages in England.
