Thanks so much - super helpful. I have a couple of 3m beds so do have the option of a "proper" rotation, but just not a full five year one as I only have the choice of two spots (unless I make use of each separate end of the beds as you suggest!) Thanks a lot ☺️

I think the main thing with rotations when it comes to issues like carrotfly is the length of time between growing the crop to try and reduce their population. So I’d be tempted to grow the same thing two of three years in a row and then swap the beds. Giving the bed two or three years without carrots, lowering the population in the off year.
