Cool greens planting plan

Cool greens planting plan

Overall size is 13 feet long, 8 feet across. Each bed is 3 feet wide.

Plant low growers in front and tall ones in back so all crops can get full sun.

Cover the 2-foot-wide center path and the soil around the perimeter with a 2-inch-thick layer of fine bark mulch.

Irrigate plants slowly and deeply; we used a drip system, but soaker hoses would work as well.
