    Eventually, yes, but it’s primarily about what nutrients are in the soil. You can grow tomatoes after potatoes* but that doesn’t add any of the nutrients potatoes need back into the soil.

    • I don’t actually know the nutritional needs of either of those crops

      Good pair to choose if you’re just guessing though; both being nightshades, their nutrient requirements will be similar. I’m not sure if potatoes need extra calcium like tomatoes though, I would guess not as that’s for the sake of the fruit
