Does anyone plant using this method? Seems adequate enough for most things, but some thing have me scratching my head.
For example, I totally get 1 tomato per sq foot, 1 pepper plant per sq foot, 1 eggplant per sq foot etc......What gets me is it says 1 squash per sq foot, 1 zucchini per sq foot, BUT 2 cucumbers. That doesn't quite make sense to me. Neither does 4 heads of lettuce per sq foot. How does 4 heads of lettuce grow in that area? How would those even fit?
Anyone have any feedback? I am in the process of building a 90 sq foot raised bed. Got 2/3 of it done yesterday - will update with pics when completed. I plan on using 72 sq feet in the first planting, and staggering the other 18 plants several weeks later for a early fall crop. I have about 120 fruit and veggie plants growing from heirloom seeds that I started 2 weeks ago under grow lights. Cant wait for some (hopefully) fine eating.
