Yes, I have used his system. I took over the Coolidge Center Farm after
Eliot left and his rotational plan was in effect. So I left it that way. It
worked so well that I carried it with me to other farms after leaving there.
The only hitch I have found is one you don't sound as if you will
encounter--it is necessary to have about the same amount of area in each
major crop group. But if you will not be using the total area of any of the
spaces, you will be fine. I think you will discover that it really works.
