Question

Construct a four - year rotation plan with ( cassava, sorghum, garden eggs and soya beans )

Answer 1

Explanation:

We start the preceding winter by adding manure to the first plot, which will have potatoes planted in it. The plot is at the far end from the lime and manure acidifies the soil so the pH should be good for potatoes.

The second plot which had the potatoes the year before, will be limed heavily to take the pH up to neutral and the other plots will have compost as available.

On heavy clay soils you will probably be digging over each winter to allow the frost’s freezing and thawing action to break up the soil. With other soils it would be a good idea to sow an over-wintering green manure crop to hold nutrients that would be washed away in the rain.
