Thurs and Fri evenings WI N to HAM Corner of No. 4 and 85 Hwys Open Thurs., Fri, evenings By Patrick Denton Whether you live in a large city or in a rural area, there are many advantages to gardening intensively. Planting everything close to- gether squeezes out weeds, which just don't get the light they need to grow. Best of all, from lack off light they will likely germin- ate and then quietly fade away without producing seed. This is much better than the weed seeds just lying dormant, to sprout later. Various vegetable plant- - ings can be squeezed into odd spots in the yard, and space can be saved by growing vining crops upward rather than outward. But other good space -sav- ing tips can be found by examining vegetable gar- dening techniques in countries where space is precious. European market gardeners tend, for example, to set up their crops in narrow beds rather than single rows. , This use of narrow beds, usually form 4 to .5 feet across (depending largely on what is a comfortable reach for you into the center of the bed), is actually one of the oldest systems of growing vegetables. The practice of planting narrow beds with just little footpaths between them was common until the • use of machinery for cultivating made wider spacing necessary. I think that the average backyard gardener wanting to try planting vegetables in this manner might do well to set out beds just 21/2 to 3 feet wide. First off, that's a comfortable reach without straining, even for children he cultivation of the wide bed. Second;, a..fairly narrow - width like this is most. con- venient for covering with plastic tunnels in early spring and fall, to increase the growing season. Paths between the narrow bedscan be kept quite narrow, say 1 foot in width. The beds can be raked up to be slightly raised above path level, and the paths then can be well mulched to keep them weed -free. Use a mulch that is readily available, and free if poss- ible. Grass clippings are good, if put down in a series of thin layers so they have a . chance to dry out before:. more is put on top. .Use leavesonly if they have been well chopped, and . then in thin layers at a time. Both leaves and grass clippings, if put on thick and the leaves left whole, will mat into a gooey, impene- trable sheet that will impede any flow of life-giving air into the soil. Hay or straw makes a good mulch, too. Spoiled hay is , sometimes available from farms. With a lighter, more open kind of mulch like straw or hay, a thicker layer may be laid on the paths at once — even' up to a foot high. It will. soon be trampled down. It's a good idea to leave a wider path in a few places — perhaps every four rows could be a wider one. This is to allow easy access to the garden of wheelbarrows and garden carts. In late fall, the mulched paths can be sprinkled with a bit Of blood and bone meal, and dug over. This will add to soil richness for future seasons. If you establish a slightly raised bed whose dimensions are about 3 feet by 10 feet, and wish to plant in it, to take an example, carrots and onions, you could mark rows with a rake hanJle about 4 inches apart. Allowing a bit of space at either long edge„,e, you could sow eight rows in this bed, half onion and half carrot. Or if you wanted this bed to grow potatoes, you could plant two rows of potato pieces, 1 foot apart in the row. Again, allowing for a bit of space at the edges of the bed you could plant about 16 hills of potatoes in this bed. Salad crops can be thinly broadcast in these narrow beds, with just A bit of soil drifted over the seed.
