Vegetable garden layout ideas
Although the traditional vegetable garden layout is for the vegetables to be set out in long rows, your garden need not follow these traditions. I have chosen, like many other home gardeners, to use raised vegetable garden beds where the vegetables can be planted in blocks rather than rows. But you don't even need to be limited to these two options. There are many more creative layouts, as the vegetable garden plans featured on this page will show. Don't feel as though you have to have a ded...

Raised bed vegetable garden
Raised Bed Vegetable Gardens
A raised bed vegetable garden, flower garden or herb garden is a garden which is built on top of the ground. It may be contained by some sort of wall (wood, stone, brick etc) or it may just be soil piled several inches high on top of the ground. The raised vegetable beds can be any shape or length but you need to be able to reach the whole bed from the sides without stepping in the garden bed. The soil in the beds may contain some of your native soil or may be composed of imported soil and/or...

Vegetable Gardens: The Changing Face of Our Food
Organic Food from your Backyard Vegetable Garden
In this modern age of manufactured food products, the price of wholesome whole foods is on the rise. Buying organic fruits and vegetables in the local grocery store can get expensive in a hurry. That is, assuming the local market carries organic fruits and vegetables for you to choose from. It is easier and more reliable than most people imagine to simply grow your own organic produce. Modern gardening techniques have vastly increased home garden production and decreased work and risk. These...

My Crop Rotation Vegetable Garden
Crop Rotation Vegetable Garden Diary and Plans
In July 2010 (Winter in Australia), I decided to convert some of our back lawn into vegetable garden. We already had raised garden beds on the sides and one out the front. But I wanted to try at home some of the no-dig gardening techniques I had learned in my Tafe course. Some of the goals I wanted to achieve with this garden were: - decoratively shaped garden beds - to grow some veggies I haven't tried growing before - to grow some veggies I haven't been successful in growing before - to b...

Easy No Dig Vegetable Garden
Easy steps to a no-dig garden
In 2010 I made my first no dig garden the easy way. The construction was easy and the harvest, only 10 weeks later, is phenomenal! I have documented both the construction and the growth of our no dig garden with photos so you can see just how easy and productive it is. Don't miss the experiment at the end of this page where the best "soil" for the garden beds was determined.

Kids' Vegetable Gardens
Vegetable gardening is not just for adults. Kids are naturally curious about watching plants grow and change. They get a lot of fun and satisfaction from planning, creating and keeping their own vegetable gardens. The bonus with a vegetable garden is that the children will be able to eat what they have grown. Growing food themselves may even encourage reluctant eaters to eat their greens or to try something new. boy holding bunch carrots © Copyright woodleywonderworks and licensed for reuse ...

Whether your garden will be large or small, it is very important to consider the amount of sunshine the site will receive, the direction of any hot or cold winds, the drainage of the soil, ease of access and the type of soil in the area. You will also need to take the time to decide which vegetables you are planning to grow in your vegetable garden. Photo credit: my ...
