Hi everyone,

I just joined the list this morning because John suggested you guys might be
able to add some insight about my question: it is about the tightness of
space...I try to grow organically and I thought that packing the plants
tightly would deprive them of air circulation and lead to problems. John
said that in his experience this problem didn't occur, but rather the
tightness caused plants to topple onto each other. What to do about either
issue??

Also, I'm planning a new gardn area about 50' x 25 and my husband doesn't
want to use raised beds with actual sides. He just got a new tractor and I
guess wants to be able to get in there and plow it up every year! I know I
can still SQFT garden with raised areas, but it tends to get pretty wet. Do
you think simple raised areas without sides will be enough to keep the roots
from getting too wet? Also, my concern about his tilling the area is the
sharing of diseases (I try to rotate crops to avoid this).

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Virginia Watson
