Perennial members must not be sited in ground that is annually turned or rotated.

Well established · fatal if ignored → block

How it works

Tillage destroys the crown. Rotation moves the annuals; the perennial cannot move.

What to do about it

Split perennial members into a permanent border; rotate the annuals around it.

The evidence

Evidence: settled without a trial - mechanics.
