The wheels are turning in my head, and those wheels are telling me, my friends, to rotate

my crops.

And I've never done it before, but someone next to me, the Bulgarian giant himself, Jacques

of Epic Gardening, the Garden Hermit, he had to, you had to this year.

I've decided that I've taken my owls, I'm learning my lessons, and basically, I've stubbornly

rotations that people recommend, and most of the time, you don't really need it.

You're not really going to get some sort of really bad disease that's really persistent.

Here's what I'll interrupt you real quick, because here's what you think about.

Think about the forest.

Does it rotate dramatically what it grows?

It does not.

It grows upwards through a life cycle and can transform the scape over time, like the tree

falls, obviously, the big trees not there, what grows underneath, but it's more of a progression

rather than a rotation.

so that's like one part of a rotation, but the part that hit me was a disease, because

like nutrition, you could supplement, you know, you got fertilizer, compost, blah blah blah,

but like I was saying, I usually actually do like a low-tillish style where I don't actually
