Running out of space
« on: April 06, 2014, 10:24 »
The plan for the plot covered everything we are wanting to grow.  I have ended up with more potatoes.  I have found a area to squeeze in three rows of main crop.   Any Advice 're maximum usage of land.  Is there anything people. Have grown between potato rows.  I love beans could I do dealt beans.  What about in between sweetcorn. Thanks

I grow between crops but some folk are sniffy about such matters but it's your plot and you grow what you like where you have space.  In between spuds I grow squashes. Spuds grow underground and squash grow on top so it was fine.  Sometimes you might get a rogue spud that doesn't grow so you get a gap, so it makes sense to fill it.  A courgette or squash is ideal.   I grow beans around the outside of a rig but in the middle of it I grow more squashes and lettuces around the periphery.  You can grow beans with sweetcorn, and folks have done this for centuries

If you squeeze stuff in you have to be prepared for having to have smaller veg and it can get untidy and difficult to weed, but if you aren't fussy about serried ranks and such like you will be fine  :)
