Botanical family
Boraginaceae
1 plants
The borage family. Borage — a single plant in our library. But a first-class bee magnet and edible (flowers + leaves, cucumber-like flavour).
Crop rotation
For Boraginaceae: rotate the spot every 1-2 years; don't follow with the same family the next year. Legumes (beans, peas) are a safe predecessor in most cases.
Nutrient distribution
How many plants in this family are how hungry for nutrients. Raised-bed soil exhausts quickly after heavy feeders — follow with nitrogen-fixers.
