How to Grow a lot of Food in a Small Garden – 9 EZ tips

Here are nine easy tips for growing more food in a small garden:

1) Grow in Beds, not Rows
2) Optimize Spacing between Beds and Plants
3) Grow Vertically
4) Succession Planting
5) Interplanting
6) Grow in the Shade
7) Grow Edible Plants in the Front Yard
8) Grow Microgreens
9) Grow in Pots & Containers

Ideas from viewers

1) Interplant sweet peas with sunchokes. The sweet peas fix nitrogen, the sunchokes act as trellises for the peas, and both attract beneficial insects.
2) 3 sisters garden
3) Grow dwarf trees and plant shade tolerant crops underneath
4) Grow in window boxes
5) Optimize use of space by growing food you like the most

OYR is all about growing a lot of food on a little land using sustainable organic methods, while keeping costs and labor at a minimum. Emphasis is placed on improving soil quality with compost, mulch, and compost tea. No store-bought fertilizers, soil amendments, pesticides, compost activators, etc. are used.

find plants that can grow low, or is ressilient to resist some wear and tear for planting where the useless paths are. they dont need to be deserts without plants, they take lots of time and ressources to make and keep. paths a dumb. have a railtrack for wheelbarrow and footshaped stones for stepping further inside growing zones. both can be raised to avoid puddles in rainy days. even more so than a path.

how is removing paths not the first. place small footsized stones around for stepping on, what the need for a big path. you never step on the edges of the path anyways and most plants can bend its leaves and bracnhes to you legs and hips when walking close by without problem or damage. would nearly double the area.

I grow ‘Tromboncino’ squash over a garden arch. You can place the arch over the path with the feet in the raised bed.

Can you do a breakdown of plants and a quick list of time to maturity, type of sun/shade, time of year to plant, what interplants well, and soil composition to grow in? And how and what type of trellis or growing structures to use

@1:08 The comment about the beds being farther apart for the wheel barrow. I thought about that and pictured beds that were close enough to lay a metal / wood / composite, etc. grate over the bed edges with a ramp to access it from the outer garden when needed. Then, when done with the big project, the grates can be removed / stored.

Plant pollinators and native plants around your garden to attract bees and keep moisture in the soil.
Also, while I plant in rows, they are right next to each other, and I use a few flagstones to get around in the garden – I use very little walking space.
