To plant in widerows you can broadcast seed over the block of space to be 'planted and cover it from the sides. Or, individual rows may be drawn pp ith close spacing be- tween 'the rows calculated to form a near -solid canopy of growth . at the plants' maturity. Wide -row planting is admirably suited to raised beds, since each wide row can become a "raised" bed simply by drawing soil from the sides of the wide -row area ontq it with a hoe and raking it smooth on top be- fore planting. Why raised beds? The piling up of soil creates a growing area that is both loose and deep — ideal for root crops. Raised beds both warm up faster in spring and drain better than flat soil. And where water supplies for the garden are limited, these raised beds can be irri- gated in the furrows between the beds. The warmer, drier ground in raised beds makes them ideal for early planting and early crops. They are per- fect, too, for tomatoes and peppers, which do wonder- fully once they have grown up out of cool subsoils and into the warmer earth of the raised beds. In regions. with cold, heavy, wet soils, raised beds are almost necessary for success in growing any- thing. Wide beds are suitable for all the smaller vegetables. But double rows of even some of the larger kinds will save a great deal of space. I often will plant four rows of corn --in wo inches apart with 24 inches between the doubte;rows.. Sf aked . tomatoes can be treated much the same way, , in double rows that are just one foot apart, the plants two feet apart in the row but staggered so they aren't standing right next to each, other. If you are planting that many tomatoes, , there should be three to four feet between the double rows. Broad beans, too, can be seeded in double rows eight or nine inches apart. Remember, though, that vegetables planted in wide rows will need a fairly fertile soil since they are more crowded than they would be in a more conventional setup and will quickly exhaust a soil that is a little thin. So before planting the seed, be sure the soil has been suitably enriched with whatever organic matter is available to you. Another useful technique for eking the maximum value from your plot of ground is intercropping. This method can be used wher- ever big plants are grown — corn, tomatoes, large fall cabbages and cauliflowers, Brussels sprouts, summer squash bushes. While it is true that these all need oodles of elbowroom eventually, during their youth, while they are still small, it is quite possible to grow catch crops of fast- growing vegetables between them. Some of these quickies are radishes, summer turnips, leaf lettuce, cress and spinach. My first spinach crop usually goes in between where the corn rows will be. Here's where the double rows of corn make life a little easier: The wider space be- tween the double rows allows for more stepping room to care for the spinach that is growing in the narrow area between the close corn rows. Both early salad crops and annual flowers for trans- planting can be grown, in the bare soil in the territory that will eventually be taken over, by pumpkins, cucumbers, squash, tomatoes and Brus- sels sprouts. You can even plant these fast early salad crops close to pea vines, but not in between them for this makes it too difficult to navi- gate the rows for early weed- ing. , Making the most of limited garden space is a continuing challenge for today's home gardener,
