Here we have come up with a few secrets of productive vegetable gardening. You don’t think much, just follow the steps:
Start Intensive Planting Beds
To get the high yield from vegetable garden, reduce the space between plants. Place & grow all the plants nearby. It is the best way to enhance the productivity and utilize the land as well. The idea behind it is to plant wide bands which reduces the amount of ground devoted to paths.
To begin an intensive garden, you have to build a bed of any length but make sure the width should be 3 to 4 feet. So you can reach the centre of the bed from either side. It’s a good option to enclose the bed with vertical boards. It provides a neater way so the soil won’t collapse on paths.
Go Vertical
Offer support to some vegetable plants to grow faster. Support offer better fences, trellises, and other structures. This way, your garden will produce more per square foot. But often vegetable plants are grown up on support tends to suffer a few diseases. For example:
Tomatoes
Tomatoes can continue to grow and produce over long time. Provide support through wire cages and wood stakes then it will require less attention.
Extend the Season
Try to apply succession planting. It is of two types, one is to plant variety of plants which produce for a limited time. If you want to have three crops, plant one-third of the bed every two weeks. The crops that benefit from this type of succession planting include corn, carrots, radishes, and heading lettuce.
Replace Spent Plants
It is the second type of succession planting that takes a little more planning. It means when a crop is done producing in the garden then you take it out and plant something else in that place.
For example, after growing pea plants of the season pull out the vines and replace it with cucumbers plants..
You can also start inter-planting to get more vegetable produce in comparatively less efforts.
