"The purpose of gardening intensively is to harvest the most produce possible from a given space."

Methods,” 2009

Plant in beds, not rows•Row gardening a holdover from agriculture
•Large unplanted areas areinefficient
•Bare soil an invitation to weeds
•Soil compaction inpaths

Plant in beds, not rows• With raised beds, you control the soil
• Better drainage, warms sooner in spring
• Work in bed without stepping in it
• Less soil compaction
• Wide rows another variation

Close planting• Plant tightly—no wasted space
• Leafy canopy reduces soil moisture loss
• Keeps weeds down, moderates soil temperature
• Plant yield may be lower, but yield per square foot is higher
• How close?

growing throughout the season
• After harvesting one crop, replant space
• Cool season warm season cool season plants

Importance of soil• Soil preparation the
key to successful intensive gardening
• Deep fertile soil high in organic matter
• Holds nutrients and moisture
• Plants better resist pests and disease
• Replace nutrients used by intensive growing
