A useful garden planning resource

Here is a link to a website with a mine of information about fruit and vege gardening, including useful garden planning layouts. The site favours a square foot gardening approach to garden bed layouts, and care needs to be taken in rotating crops between beds to avoid pest and disease build up, but for someone new to gardening it is a reasonable entrypoint to the way of the green thumb before tackling the complexities of permaculture gardening.

Some of the site's products could probably be constructed DIY without much difficulty with found or adapted recycled materials without spending precious shekels on store bought stuff.

 

Thanks, there is some very useful info there!

Thanks, I like it. Working planning a fall/winter garden now and redesigning my layout for next year. This looks like it may come in handy.

 

Thanks Chell. Some good info in there.

 

For crop rotation info, check out page 6 of the following pdf file. The bottom half of the page is just a chart, so it's an easy read.
