I gave my raised bed (9' X 36') a year off last year. I mostly grow tomatoes and had been having problems with what I believe to be soil borne disease from only growing tomatoes in it for 8 straight years (my bad) and grew only container tomatoes last year with good results. I have been trying to decide if I should give it another year and just continue fortifying the raised bed with organic material or if 1 year is enough. I am leaning towards giving it another year without tomatoes and just plant it in early lettuces, green beans, peppers, onions, garlic and potatoes and zucchini, plant in a cover crop next fall and grow container tomatoes again this year.
I know one thing, I'm ready for spring!
