Annotated sources

Seasonal Rotation

http://www.care2.com/greenliving/crop-rotation.html#
This website is really good, it gives you a lot of information about crop rotation, for example how to balance nutrient demands, and tells you to plant rotations by lists of family's, for example the beet family would be beets, spinach, and chard.


Another good website is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crop_rotation
i know we shouldn't use Wikipedia, but it helped me understand what crop rotation is, and they have some pretty good sources.

And the last source i found was http://www.helpfulgardener.com/organic/2006/crop.html
this one is a really good one, it explains how not rotating crops weakens the soil, and that Cover crops are good. it also tell you how to protect your garden from disease and pests.
