Companion Gardening Tomatoes Corn
Planning my spring garden?
I'm starting to plan my garden for the spring (which for Aus. It's next month). It's block rectangular 25m in length. I know about crop rotation and stuff but im not sure exactly what the position where. How much space would take melons do you think? I have six varieties. Here is what im plantation:-tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, zuchinni, squash, beans, corn, lettuce, cabbage, potatoes, honeydew, rockmelon, watermelon, casaba melon, Crenshaw melon, carrots, parsnips, onions, beets, Silverbeet, pumpkin. What position i along the other and a maximum of space for planting mate? Any vegies I'm forgetting? I probably should mention that the squash and zuchinni and squash can go out of garden near my compost pile. That should clear a bit of room! Thanks for your suggestions on the way
Six varieties of melon? WOW … it takes much space. Melons should be planted 4-6 feet apart for maximum yields. You can plant pumpkins among their corn plants, corn, but also occupies much space. This is not a large garden – you think you have enough space? You have a value of three gardens "of melons alone! I keep it for two varieties of melons, pumpkins do not, not corn, myself. But you should do what you want! Beans and eggplant together. Peppers (capsicum) tomato together. Plant oregano or basil and parsley between the plants if you like them. Onions may be forthcoming. Corn and tomatoes not be planted close together the other, nor should beans and onions and carrots or beans. Beans do not do well near ANY tubers as turnips, potatoes or beets. Put all your root crops together – except the potatoes. The potato is another crop that takes up too much space under the ground – then the vegetables you will not walk, or compress, land lot – like the edge of the garden. Keep them away from tomatoes, zucchini, squash / or melons. Put your onions, carrots, parsnips, beets in one place, all his "veg" leafy elsewhere, his lettuce, cabbage and Silverbeet. Leaf crops like lettuce should be the other edges of the garden so you can replant after harvest early or late in the season for growing cool climate. Honestly, I do not know how you get this many different vegetables in such a small space – Even a single plant of each. You only have so many things that spread in a good way – all the melons and pumpkins are vines that can reach 25 meters long! and corn requires at least two feet and three feet between rows. At least that is how they grow here in the U.S.. Good luck even!
