Organization of vegetable growing on limited plots

For rational use of a limited garden plot, experts recommend prioritizing high-yield crops. One effective solution for growing potatoes when space is scarce is using special boxes. The technology involves layering soil as the shoots grow; this method is known as hilling.

Vertical gardening allows for significant space savings. Trellises, netting, or stakes can be used as supports for climbing plants such as cucumbers, beans, and peas. Placing tall crops along fences makes it possible to plant lower-growing plants, such as lettuce, directly in front of them. Pepper and chili plants also require staking to supports, and the open patches of soil between them are suitable for cultivating herbs: basil, coriander, parsley, or chives.

Various containers are suitable for creating compact vegetable gardens. Microgreens can be grown in the kitchen by providing the plant with access to sunlight. Flower pots are suitable for lettuce, and hanging baskets are optimal for placing herbs. An old wheelbarrow can serve as a portable garden bed, where one can grow salad greens, chives, and thyme.

Currently, sowing work is actively underway in Kem Ormond's garden. In particular, red and brown onions and early-cultivar potatoes have been planted, and transplants of tomatoes, peppers, and chili have been prepared. The gardener's plans include expanding the passion fruit plantings with the installation of a support structure, which is part of a strategy for the productive use of the territory.
