Here’s a simple garden layout where you can easily practice relay planting and crop rotation:
1. Divide the garden into three sections.
2. Plant early maturing vegetables and vegetables you can harvest in 2-4 months in one section. (tomatoes, pechay, sweet corn, etc.)
3. In the second section, plant semi-annual vegetables or vegetables that will continue to be harvestable for 6-9 months. (winged bean, ampalaya, cucumber, ginger)
4. In the last section, plant year-round harvestable vegetables such as patani (lima beans), kangkong, alugbati, kadyos (pigeon pea), etc.
5. For all sections, reserve the remaining half-portion for relay planting.
6. After a year or so, rotate sections.

When you practice crop rotation, you make use of crops’ different root lengths to keep the soil loose and aerated. Crop rotation is also a pest and disease management strategy and prevents nutrient depletion in the soil.

Red Wigglers are preferred by gardeners in temperate climates. For us in tropical climates, African Night Crawlers would be better composting worms as they could tolerate our hot weather.
