Saffron

Question

Is it true that once saffron crop has been harvested, you rotate and cannot use that same plot for 4yrs.
Would it not be possible to re-mulch and fertilize leaving plot empty for the next 1 to 2 yrs then reuse.

Answer 1

There is some confusion here. Saffron bulbs multiply rapidly, so rapidly that they become crowded and less productive. For that reason, they should be dug up and thinned every 4-6 years. They can be replanted in the same location. I would add compost to the soil at that time.
