3) INTERPLANTING
This technique takes advantage of
the fact that some vegetables grow quickly while others take their time. For
example, if you plant carrots and radishes together, you can harvest the
radishes in about 30 days when the carrots are still quite small. Another
option is to combine a vertical vegetable (e.g. tomatoes) with a low-growing
crop (e.g. melons).
Here are some inter-plant combinations
that work well.
Grow melons and squash under
stake tomatoes.
Surround corn with lettuce or
peas with radishes.
Pair fast and slow veggies like
lettuce with tomatoes, beets with runner beans, spinach with winter squash,
leeks with sweet potatoes, and radishes with sweetcorn.
4) INTENSIVE
PLANTING BEDS
You can save space by arranging
plants in a grid pattern. The surest way to increase yield from a vegetable
garden is to reduce the distance between plants. This is very similar to Square
Foot Gardening. To start an intensive garden, make raised beds of any length,
but limit their width to 3 to 4 feet in diameter so you can reach the centre of
the bed from either side. While standing in bed isn't necessary, it's a good
idea.
Enclosing a bed with vertical
boards not only makes it tidier, but the floor won't fall in your paths. It
will also be much easier for you to install row covers or set up supports for
vertical cultivation.
Before planting the bed, prepare
the soil by digging at least 8-12 inches and turning over shovel by shovel to
loosen and aerate it. Add organic matter like compost or manure. The more
organic material you mix, the better. Then run string lines to create a grid.
The grid helps you position young plants at the right distance from each other.
Use a trowel or dibble to dig
holes for graft-sized vegetables. Carefully remove the seedlings from their
containers, then grasp the leaves to guide them while supporting the root ball.
Make sure you put plants in their holes at the same depth they grew in your
container. Firm the soil gently over the roots around the stem. This will help
get the roots in contact with the ground. Make evenly spaced holes in the
bottom with your finger. when planting heirloom seeds directly in beds. Be sure
to follow the Seeds recommendations to know how deep to make the depression.

3) KUPANDA
Mbinu hii inachukua faida ya
ukweli kwamba baadhi ya mboga hukua haraka wakati wengine huchukua muda wao.
Kwa mfano, ikiwa unapanda karoti na radish pamoja, unaweza kuvuna radish katika
siku 30 wakati karoti bado ni ndogo sana. Chaguo jingine ni kuchanganya mboga
ya wima (k.m. nyanya) na mazao ya chini (kwa mfano tikiti).
Hapa kuna michanganyiko baina
ya mimea inayofanya kazi vizuri.
Panda tikiti na boga chini ya
nyanya za hisa.
Zungusha mahindi na lettuki au
mbaazi na radishes.
Oanisha mboga za haraka na za
polepole kama vile lettuki na nyanya, beets na maharagwe ya kukimbia, mchicha
na boga za msimu wa baridi, vitunguu na viazi vitamu, na figili na mahindi
tamu.
4) VITANDA VYA UPANDAJI KALI
Unaweza kuokoa nafasi kwa
kupanga mimea katika muundo wa gridi ya taifa. Njia ya uhakika ya kuongeza
mavuno kutoka kwa bustani ya mboga ni kupunguza umbali kati ya mimea. Hii ni
sawa na Square Foot Gardening. Ili kuanza bustani ya kina, tengeneza vitanda
vilivyoinuliwa vya urefu wowote, lakini punguza upana wake hadi futi 3 hadi 4
kwa kipenyo ili uweze kufikia katikati ya kitanda kutoka upande wowote. Wakati
kusimama kitandani sio lazima, ni wazo nzuri.
Kufunga kitanda na bodi za wima
sio tu hufanya iwe safi, lakini sakafu haitaanguka kwenye njia zako. Pia
itakuwa rahisi kwako kusakinisha vifuniko vya safu mlalo au kuweka vihimili vya
upanzi wa wima.
Kabla ya kupanda kitanda,
tayarisha udongo kwa kuchimba angalau inchi 8-12 na kugeuza koleo kwa koleo ili
kuilegeza na kuiingiza hewa. Ongeza vitu vya kikaboni kama mboji au samadi.
Kadiri unavyochanganya nyenzo za kikaboni, ni bora zaidi. Kisha endesha mistari
ya kamba ili kuunda gridi ya taifa. Gridi hukusaidia kuweka mimea michanga kwa
umbali unaofaa kutoka kwa kila mmoja.
Tumia mwiko au dibble kuchimba
mashimo kwa mboga za ukubwa wa pandikizi. Ondoa kwa uangalifu miche kutoka
kwenye vyombo vyake, kisha shika majani ili kuwaongoza huku ukiunga mkono
mizizi. Hakikisha unaweka mimea kwenye mashimo yao kwa kina kile kile walichokua
kwenye chombo chako. Imarisha udongo kwa upole juu ya mizizi karibu na shina.
Hii itasaidia kupata mizizi katika kuwasiliana na ardhi. Tengeneza mashimo
yaliyo na nafasi sawa chini kwa kidole chako. wakati wa kupanda mbegu za
heirloom moja kwa moja kwenye vitanda. Hakikisha kufuata mapendekezo ya Mbegu
ili kujua jinsi ya kufanya unyogovu.
