i grew up on the farm my dad grew up on, and his dad before him. one year my grandpa planted soybeans and the crop was beautiful. when they were big and green and looking like a bumper crop, grandpa and dad plowed them all under. dad was appalled by this but the next year when they planted corn.....hooowhee. they had more corn than anyone. people were trying to buy corn from them and grandpa said no thank you. he sold what he needed to and used what he needed for livestock feed. i didn’t understand this as a kid but over the last few years i have gotten the point. with proper crop rotation and natural fertilizer options you too can have bumper crops. it translates pretty well into veggie gardens too.
I was thinking the same thing. Crop rotation. Crops DO use nutrients and that is why they rotate them.
If I said what John Wayne would do, I might get a visit from the Secret Service.
