Area iii: root vegetables - without much nitrogen, fertilisers together with other soil nutrients they won't fork
Area 4: potatoes in addition to tomatoes (called 'Solanums')- postulate piddling if they are inward goodness soil

Each surface expanse is treated inward its ain special agency for one twelvemonth.  Then yous change the exercise of each expanse. In Year v each expanse is back to how it was used inward Year 1.
