Botanical family
Valerianaceae
1 plants
The valerian family. In our library only lamb's lettuce — winter-hardy, undemanding, the easiest winter-veg classic in a raised bed.
Crop rotation
For Valerianaceae: 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.
