Let Diggers Head of Gardens, Julian Blackhirt, assist you to build a crop rotation plan for your garden. Crop rotation has been used for centuries to get the most out of your soil. Planting a diverse range of crops helps prevent pest and disease issues while also preserving the soil's fertility. Combining different plants with companion planting often gives better results than growing just one crop at a time.

- How to use companion planting to prevent insect and pest attack in the vegie garden.
- About interplanting and succession planting to get the most out of your garden space.

This Masterclass is designed to teach you everything you need to know to make a crop rotation plan for your home garden and use companion planting to improve your yields, plant health and garden diversity.
