How to Plant Your Garden Beds Intensively for Big Harvests

Plant spacing can be one of the most confusing things about gardening.

The proper amount of space often depends on the growing method, but I like to use biointensive plant spacing for a more manageable and productive vegetable garden.

Benefits Of Biointensive Planting

With a standard 4-foot-wide bed, you can easily reach the center, so planting intensively means you can plant in all directions and still be able to harvest.

Spacing For Transplants Vs. Seeds

For example, cabbage needs 15 to 18 inches of space between plants, but you’re better off sowing seeds every 4 to 6 inches to ensure good germination.
