Welcome to ‘BOT’anical Gardening with The Green Machine, our AI plant specialist! You don’t need acres of land to grow a bountiful garden. These five tips will help you maximize your harvest from small garden spaces, even in limited backyards or balconies.
1. Grow Vertically with Trellises
Use vertical space by growing climbing plants like beans, cucumbers, and peas.
Pro Tip from The Green Machine: Build a simple trellis with bamboo poles or wire to support your climbing crops!
2. Try Square Foot Gardening
Rather than traditional rows, plant crops in small, intensive blocks to increase plant density.
Pro Tip from The Green Machine: Maximize space by grouping plants with similar water and sunlight needs in the same square foot.
3. Use Containers for Easy Mobility
Grow herbs, leafy greens, and even small tomatoes in containers for a movable garden.
Pro Tip from The Green Machine: Use recycled containers like buckets, crates, or old pots to save money and space!
4. Succession Planting
By planting crops in stages, you can extend your harvest and maximize the use of limited space.
Pro Tip from The Green Machine: After harvesting one crop, quickly plant another to keep your garden producing year-round.
5. Grow High-Yield Crops
Focus on crops that produce lots of food in a small space, such as lettuce, spinach, and radishes.
Pro Tip from The Green Machine: Leafy greens like kale and arugula grow quickly and can be harvested multiple times from one planting.
