Intensive Gardening Techniques

Only have a small space for a vegetable garden this year? There are several ways to practice intensive gardening, making every inch of garden space count. 

Square Foot Gardening
When using this intensive gardening technique, the garden is created or divided in a series of 1 foot by 1 foot squares. Each square holds a different vegetable or herb. How many plants are placed in each square depends on 1) the vegetable cultivar chosen, and 2) how far apart they are planted.
