|

The four course rotation is the ecologically sound system of husbandry used in
|
||||||
|
[[high_farming]]. It is a form of crop rotation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1) one year [[ley]]
|
||||||
|
- grow for one year
|
||||||
|
- let livestock graze from it
|
||||||
|
- allows for nitrogen to build in the soil
|
||||||
|
2) root break
|
||||||
|
- plant,
|
||||||
|
- turnips
|
||||||
|
- swedes
|
||||||
|
- potatoes
|
||||||
|
- mangold
|
||||||
|
- kale
|
||||||
|
- these increase soil fertility
|
||||||
|
- apply nearly all manure to this field
|
||||||
|
- called cleaning crops, as land must be hoed several times to plant in rows
|
||||||
|
- Also creates the crops to be eaten during the winter for feeding livestock
|
||||||
|
3) Winter cereal break
|
||||||
|
- plant,
|
||||||
|
- wheat
|
||||||
|
- beans
|
||||||
|
- barley
|
||||||
|
- oats
|
||||||
|
- rye
|
||||||
|
- All these crops are sown in autumn
|
||||||
|
- this is the primary "cash crop" or "staple food"
|
||||||
|
4) Spring cereal break
|
||||||
|
- Spring sown wheat or barley
|
||||||
|
- Undersow ley after placing the wheat and barley seed
|
||||||
|
- used crop for beer, feeding livestock, and making manure
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Historically this method created 2 tons of wheat to the acre
