Size/Space requirements?
Here are 3 resources for tips on figuring out how much garden/container space you need:
Detailed planting chart – note the “Plant Spacing” column
Intensive spacing for raised beds
Plant spacing guide – accounting for transplants + direct seeded crops, with photos
Keep in mind you may or may not need to account for a pathway. Typically we can reach 24-36” into a bed.
Garden planting can be very creative – a converted lawn, raised beds, numerous small patches tucked in with ornamentals, a strip along your fence line, containers… there’s no one answer to this question, but we’ll talk about mapping your garden at the Garden Planning workshop in March.
