Re: First Time Grower...
Jetta,
I too have a small growing area 30'x30'. I had two hills with three on each. I was
told by almost everyone that a 30'x30' area would only hold one AG but I kept two (one
on each hill) and everything is working out OK. ...Good Luck but definitely get rid of
some of them or you might not get any because you do not know where the nutrients will
go to...
