If you have a small vegetable garden, only three hundred square meters, but I would like to plant a lot, there is a way out.
Small garden: how to compact the planting.
You can take advantage of the moment when most vegetables are ripe before mid-summer.
For example, onions and garlic can be planted between rows of strawberries, and cabbage between rows of potatoes. Plant the tomatoes near the blackcurrant bushes for easy tying. In addition, it is useful for the currant itself, since tomato phytocides are able to "drive away" insect pests.
Methods for growing climbing crops.
Build a pergola for climbing crops.
For example, you can grow a pumpkin, melon and any climbing crop. The gazebo can have a rectangular shape in the form of an arch. Its base must be stable, about two meters high. When the fruits are formed, place them in the nets and hook them onto a nail.
Beans can be planted around the tree on the south side. The beans will begin to climb the branches. Harvesting can be done from a dummy ladder.
An elementary composition has been made for the beans. Plant the beans around the tree on the south side. When the beans "rise" in the supports, they begin to climb the branches. Place a ladder on a tree to harvest.
Plant tall crops together with those that curl. For example, a standard pattern: cucumbers, beans, corn. Corn will protect crops from wind and heat.
Small vegetable garden and multi-tiered beds.
Fill a propylene bag with earth. Make drainage. Multi-tiered beds can also be made from wooden boxes.
You can use barrels as beds. Fill the barrel with layers: branches, bark, earth, weeds or hay, earth, compost.
It is good to grow cucumbers in such beds. Water often. Make holes in the barrel to drain the rainwater.
Besides a good harvest, you can also get the compost you need.
Potatoes can be grown in the same way.
You can use both a barrel and a propylene or polyethylene bag for one hundred liters.
The barrel should be half full and the bag 1/4 full. Potatoes are planted from five to six pieces. Potatoes will grow on stolons. If the tops are not allowed to see the sun, then there will be many fruit levels. This is possible with frequent hilling.
As soon as the tops grow back, it is necessary to fill up the soil. With large tops, stolons will not form. When the leaves appear, they must be sprinkled with earth by five centimeters. Do this until the barrel is filled with earth, and the bag is 3/4 full.
You can also grow vegetables in containers.
Place different containers of plants on the porch and around the house, on tarmac and concrete roads. Good drainage and regular watering is required. With a little effort, your garden area can easily grow by a couple of hundred.
A flower garden of herbs and beautiful vegetables.
You can make an attractive flower bed not only from flowers, but also from well-chosen plants. This fashion is characteristic of France, where there are several salads in flower beds.
