Intensive Gardening
Intensive gardening systems easily double or triple your vegetable
yields from the same plot of garden. Now that sounds like some kind of
sales pitch if I do say so myself. :-) The fact is that most folks don't understand how productive a garden can be until they start following some of these guidelines. All you have to do is understand that the Japanese and Chinese have been using some of these techniques for centuries to feed their massive populations relative to the size of their garden spaces. These cultures needed to feed their people and they didn't have much space so they invented ways of doing things that we westerners never had to consider.
The intensive gardening techniques in this ebook are the same techniques except they've been modified and updated to reflect the latest technologies in composting and compost tea (and then again, maybe the Chinese have been doing this for centuries too.) T
hey've also been modified to reflect the kinds of vegetables we grow here rather than the crops grown overseas.
Different Things to Understand
The book is broken down into several different sections - each one building on information and put in big tables so you can easily understand.
How to Combine Different Vegetables
The first describes the different growth pattern of plants and how to combine them. For example, upright plants such as corn can be used as supports for twining plants such as cucumbers. Planting shade tolerant spinach under tomatoes enables you to get several crops of spinach both early in the season and later on. You'll learn how to combine different plant growth habits and maximize your growing space.
There's also a table that lists some of the better combinations so you don't have to figure all this stuff out on your own. T
Two Story Cropping
he second section is all about two-story cropping and how to make maximum use of upper and lower levels in the garden. The above example of corn and cucumbers is just one of the many combinations described in the tables in this section. Some intensive gardening users plant using the nutritional needs of the individual vegetables.
Heavy feeders are planted first, followed by light feeders and then by soil-builders - the plants that actually make the soil better. Multi-cropping in this way makes maximum use of the garden area as well as ensuring the plants get adequate nutrition. This section describes how to identify the different nutritional needs of your vegetable plants.
Spacing plants
Spacing plants is one of the critical components of intensive gardening and figuring out these spaces can be time consuming. The ebook gives you a table of the most common vegetable spacing (for example, staked tomatoes are planted 24 inches apart while unstaked tomatoes are planted on 36 inch centers. And lettuce is planted 12-inches apart.
But the ebook goes one step further and gives you the easy formula to figure out how far apart to plant lettuce from tomatoes. It isn't magic but it is important to know how to do this so you don't crowd your plants.
If you've ever tried to grow spinach in the middle of a hot summer and watched it bolt to seed, you understand that different vegetables grow in different temperatures. Spinach is a cool weather plant, melons are a hot weather plant, peppers need constant heat with no cool nights.
This section tells you how to take advantage of the temperature needs of different plants (yes, again with tables telling you which are which) and when to plant them for maximum yields.
Your Own Garden Plan
This book is all about getting maximum numbers of vegetables from a small space and we devote a lot of space to giving you these tables.
But frankly, we can give you all this stuff and you'd just shake your head trying to put it all together. So we did that for you.
The biggest section of this ebook gives you the basic three steps to design your individual garden. And we walk you through doing your own plan.
The way we do this is to show you my garden design and crop rotation system (again, with planting diagrams of where and how I plant over the course of a season for maximum yield).
In 28 pages, this ebook gives you the practical details of how to double or triple your vegetable yields in your garden.
