Planting Guide/Design


Why? Allow/plan for; sun, weeding, water, feeding, picking, spreading ...

The Winter and Summer tracking of the sun must be calculated and designs made to maximise sun coverage *tall plants will shadow shorter plants limiting production. Horizontal plants MUST be given room or a structure to prevent them 'strangling' the garden. Vertical plants, making structures available such stakes or fences or trellis.
