You've never seen a tractor work like this! Grow a better garden every year!

What happens here

After the initial tilling, plan the garden layout to ensure crop rotation. Avoid planting the same crop in the same location year after year to reduce pest infestations and disease prevalence. For example, areas where tomatoes were grown last year will be used for different crops like corn or beans this year. Maintain meticulous records using labeled wooden stakes to indicate what was planted in each row and on what date. This meticulous record-keeping allows for annual improvement and informed decision-making based on past garden performance.

Goal: Strategically plan planting locations to rotate crops annually and maintain detailed records for continuous improvement and pest/disease management.
