Intensive gardening seems to produce great crops with many added
advantages to single row planting.  I'm going to give it a shot this
year.  I'm going to use a 50'x3 1/2' bed and see what happens as far as
the results.  I like the idea of NO wasted space!  My garden will be
double dug in ground and very well amended with leaf mold, compost and
slow release organic fertilizer.  A lot of veggies from a small area?
We shall see, only time will tell but it does sound like a good idea
with some very sound reasoning to support the benefits.  NO,  I'm not
going to lay out a grid and get into the square foot aspect of it.  Not
quite that serious yet.....LOL  But I do plan on intercroping to try and
make the best use of space, fertilizer and water in order to grow a lot
of veggies in a small space.  Create a micro climate for the plants?  I
hope so because nothing in nature grows in a straight row.
