Botanical family
Rosaceae
8 plants
The rose family — many berry shrubs and fruit trees belong here (strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, all stone fruits, apples). Perennial, need their space for years. Respecting plant spacing is critical for yield.
Crop rotation
For Rosaceae: 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.
