As the plants in our vegetable garden feed, they deplete nutrients in the soil. Some plants take more from the soil than others while some actually add nutrients. For these reasons it is important to practise crop rotation to maintain or improve soil fertility.
It will also help to prevent a build-up of plant pests and disease. If you can bear to do so, also leave some ground fallow (no plants in it) for a while. With added compost, this will allow the soil to build up its resources and cure itself of plant pests and disease.
