Re: SqFt Planting Spaces

We don't water the lawn near our garden in the summer, but we do have
soaker hoses set in the holes and on the grass between the holes. If we
have a wet summer we always have problems with mildew so I spray with a
baking soda/water solution to help prevent that.

We've had success with teepees and trellis. However, I saw a neat idea
recently where small A-frames were constructed on a sqare foot trench. Each
pole for the A-frame was set on either side of the square foot and lashed
together at the top. Maybe this would work better for you.

We've done string teepee by planting a central pole then running string
from the top to stakes pounded in around the bottom. We plant 4 beans
around each stake. Last year we used recycled branches from a downed
cascara tree. That also worked well.
