Vegetable garden design

It is hard to create a vegetable garden design because the end product must be both practical and good looking. If you want to grow healthy plants you need to plan your beds with great care. The most common mistake people make when they build their vegetable beds is not creating enough space for the plants to evolve which leads to creating a breeding ground for disease and insects. When you have a crowded garden it is very difficult to remove weeds and harvest the veggies.


Here are the things that you need to do in order to create a vegetable garden design:


• Before you can start planning your beds you must find the location where you are going to place them. The area should provide at least eight hours of sunlight during the summer. Almost all types of vegetables need a lot of sunlight in order to develop which is why you must be careful where you plant them. The soil in the area must be well drained because you do not want to have water standing on the surface.


• When you build a bed make sure that you choose the size that make you work comfortably. The bed should be long enough to fit all the vegetables you want to plant.


• The first vegetables that you should plant are the tall ones because you need to situate them along the north or west side of the bed so that you do not make shade to the other plants. The medium plants should be placed in the middle of the bed and the small ones on the sides.


• Take a piece of paper and write down what you harvested each year. By doing this you will make sure that you do not plant the same this next year. It is very important to have diversity and this is a way to maintain it. If you want you can even change a garden decoration just to keep the creativity going.


• Install garden edging to keep the grass out of the beds and prevent the soil from erosion.  You can find beds for plants at the garden store the same place where you can buy rich soil and manure. Also it is a beautiful garden decoration because some edgings are colorful.
