Exer 3

The document describes a bio-intensive approach to food production in a 4x4 meter plot divided into 4 beds with subdivisions. It includes a map of the plot layout, crop rotation plan, cropping calendar, and weekly schedule. The crop rotation plan outlines different crop categories to be planted in each bed subdivision over time to regenerate soils. The cropping calendar specifies the sowing, growing, and harvesting periods for selected crops over one year. The weekly schedule outlines watering, cultivating, weeding, and pest removal activities.

Crop rotation requires that each category or type be planted in a different sub-division of the bed
every season. This is important because crop rotation (root, leaf, legume and fruit crops) aimed at
regenerating soils and breaking pest life cycles. This is also necessary to keep the cycle going and to
provide a suitable, healthy environment for plants to grow.
