Safe crops to plant in rotation after tomatoes

[tkharper2]

My question is, what are alternative crops that can be planted in a raised bed that this year contained tomatoes that were affected by either fusarium or verticilium wilt? I know peppers and eggplants are also susceptible to these diseases.

after removing the garden debris from this year's garden, you can fork up the soil and broadcast some winter rye(green manure crop) which has the ability to add nutrients to your soil and helps remove some of the nasties from the soil...next year try planting some squash, cukes or even corn for your rotation crops and the third year give your legumes(peas, beans) a try--the legumes will add beneficial nitrogen to your soils...
