Small Vegetable Garden Design

Although we here in Noordhoek, South Africa, are used to rather large gardens – or let’s call it lots of space – and lots of sunshine and warmth especially during the hot summer months, it doesn’t mean that a Vegetable Garden has to be large. To the contrary! There are many reasons for it, however, from what I see from friends and neighbours, most if not all go for a Small Vegetable Garden Design that is easily manageable and can be kept neat, clean and under control as there are many hungry little mouths around here!

What is important when planning a small Vegetable Garden design is that you avoid shady areas and choose a sunny, protected spot. You may then consider whether you want to plant in open soil or create raised beds – which obviously is a protection against some intruders – I saw beds even a few feet above the ground which was a joy for the back! – but also the soil seems to warm up faster and the drainage is better – to avoid stagnating water that can rot roots.

    You actually make it seem really easy with your presentation but I in finding this topic to be really something which I feel I would by no means understand. It kind of feels too complicated and extremely extensive for me. I am having a look forward in your subsequent put up, I will try to get the grasp of it!
