Can herbs be safely planted in old tomato beds?
I know that crop rotation for tomatoes and peppers is necessary due to various viruses in the soil that can live there for years. My question is, does anyone know of problems with making a raised bed that had contained tomtoes that had either fusarium or verticillium wilt into an herb garden?
As another said, I don't think there is a problem with that. Last summer, I had my tomato plants in a 1/2 barrel with oregano, basil, rosemary and thyme planted around them. I had to water so much, I didn't do the same this year. What was handy though, is that I'd grab a ready to eat cherry tomato, pass it through the herbs surrounding them and pop it into my mouth. Yum! Not many tomatoes made it to the kitchen.
