Q&A – How do I plant veggies to get more out of my garden?

Question:
How do I plant veggies to get more out of my garden?

Answer:
There are several things you can do. Gardener Peter Richards says the easiest is to lean any climbing plants away from the bed, so they take up space in the air that is not over the bed. You can also practice square foot gardening. In this method you divide the garden into one foot squares and plant densely in each square. With the square foot gardening method and good planning, you can get lots of produce out of a small garden.
