I lost my plant last year due to phytophora in July. I did the mustard biofumigation after pulled plant. Trying to decide if I should let garden sit fallow for year to help with disease or use additional chemicals such as adorn. If I do take year off can I grow other vegetables (not squash,cucumbers,etc?) or should I just grow cover crop? Thanks

"Two years has been shown to be insufficient, therefore select a field where susceptible crops have not been grown for at least 3 years". Dhunter - this is from a study done by Cornell University in New York.

I have let my garden lay fallow (from pumpkin growing) for 5 years now due to disease.
I plan on trying again this year. It will be interesting.
