MOnty Don recomended 4 in the order of
Manure
Potatoes
Beans
Barassicas
Roots
Manure
The idea being that potatoes are a hungry crop and take a lot out of the soil so you give it a boost in the autumn befor planting.
The beans put in nitrogen that the following brassicas enjoy and the roots bulk up rather than put on top growth before manuring again.
But in a perfect world you've got loads of space fopr this.
With limited space I've found that I need to follow the new potatoes with winter brassicas and leeks while the rest of the plot is doing the summer beans, sweetcorn, salads etc. Crop Rotation... 3 or 4?
