Intensive Gardening – Planning Your Bedroom

Intensive Gardening – Planning Your Bedroom

Intensive gardening is simply treating your garden so that you fill it with plants, flowers, and shrubs, all in close-coupled. This helps you create a relaxing garden, with many plants share the same attention and consist of the same proportion.

Making an individual focus for each area of your garden can be a bit tricky at times, but simply pulling them together into one area usually provides the desired effect.

So, let’s take a look at some of the practical aspects of organizing your Intensive Garden…

One of the first aspects you must address is the bed. You can decide to have a raised bed, a mixed bed, or a normal bed in the garden.

The raised bed can be simple and well suited to being a spot for delicious-looking vegetables. However, many people choose to make the bed only as wide as a traditional garden seat. For me, it’s always better to have as much space as possible to spread out and appreciate the plants.

The mixed bed can be just as interesting as the regular bed, but you cannot eat the whole thing—however, you can use melons, Lettuce, Tomato, and other veggies that need a lot of space.

The normal bed can be as simple as a traditional bed; the flowers can be as varied as you like. I normally choose to concentrate on flowers and larger flowering plants.

You can decide the direction of the color themes as long as it remains in proportion. I often use striped planting or a mixture of color and white to make my beds look interesting. You could also use a color theme for each group of flowers in the bed.

There is another option when you are working on a color theme. You could choose only to use one specific color. I often do this with some of my gardens. You can theme your whole garden using just one color, and it can be dramatic and fun at the same time.

This brings me to another aspect of intensive gardening, the planning of your garden. It would help if you started by sketching out the shape of your garden on paper. It doesn’t have to be too scale, but you should be aware that it won’t have depth and maybe boring if your garden is too small. Also, a small garden will make it easier to plan around. You will need to consider where you will place garden beds and which plants you are going to place where.

The next thing to consider is how many plants you are going to have in your garden. If you are only going to use a small number of plants, you don’t need to worry about planning them out. However, if you are planning to grow a large amount, you will need to consider placing plants in the spaces between the plants. Before you actually plant, you should make a layout of the bed.

It is essential to consider the space between the plants. This is important because the spaces between the plants will allow the sun to reach different parts of the plants. The larger the area, the more sun, the less soil the plants need. Leafy plants like lettuce and spinach do well in smaller spaces.

If you have difficulty planning out your garden, you can use what I call a problem space. This is one of the worst Planning Mistakes that I have encountered. Planning Mistakes usually involve placing too many of one type of plant or wrong plantings in one area. The wrong plantings give the illusion that you are taking. This can lead to disaster if it is too late.

Consider this example: You want to grow pole beans in a 12-inch long furrow. You could dig a trench in your garden up to the base of the pole beans and put the wire in the trench, and stake the pole beans in place.

However, this is a big if. I would recommend growing pole beans in a four-inch-long by a four-inch deep trench.

Why? Because pole beans will grow up the sides of your trench to have free growing soil between the furrows. If you don’t believe me, get a picture of what I suggest above the photograph. Zo often, the difference in size can be extreme.

Another example is the fact that tomatoes do poorly in the wintertime. Tomatoes do really well in the warm weather, and they do poorly in the cold. If you grow tomatoes in the ground in an area that gets full sunlight all day and you put them in a cold frame, they will grow really well, as long as the temperatures are above freezing. If the temperatures lower than freezing, the tomatoes will stop growing and will ripen at the wrong time, and will always be too small for sale.

Another reason tomatoes will do poorly in the winter is that there is too much nitrogen for the food crops in the soil. This will lead to too much foliage and not enough fruit yield.
