In planning this spring's garden, I found this information to be helpful. The source is not exactly the Wall Street Journal, but I have found good information on this local website in the past. Since the site is copyrighted, I thought it would be best to post an excerpt with a link to the original article.

Thank you for the post. I have read that potatoes should not be planted in the same soil after two years.... And I have read that corn and tomatoes despise each other.... And some plants are segregationist and have big time issues with other plants. So much to learn and apply.

I have a 6 year rotation on my garden. Plot 1 is brassica/onions in the upper half, grains and oilseeds in the lower. Plot 2 is greens/roots, Plot 3 peas/dry beans/misc legumes, Plot 4 is okra/corn/snap beans, Plot 5 if squash/cuke/melon/watermelon, Plot 6 is tomato/pepper/eggplant.

If you raise pasture animals then you are best with a eight year rotation. One year as pasture and one year fallow.
You will rarely have any soil problems with a eight year rotation.
