Do you think I could get away with not rotating my tomato beds for one year? I always do it religiously, but this spring we will be pressed for time and I’m wondering if I can get away with just adding a lot of good compost etc, and using the same bed as last year. It’s a good all-day full sun location with permanent trellises.

Sure, but it depends upon how they did...if all you get are the typical fungal foliage issues - NRaleighLiberal Mar 2018 #7

So far good results, nothing that seems to impair production or deliciousness. enough Mar 2018 #8
