Planning A Vegetable Garden :: The Vegetable Garden Plan

Planning a vegetable garden is probably the most important part of your veggie patch. Get the planning wrong and nothing works.........

Here are a few tips of getting it right.

Sun, Sun and More Sun
The most important thing to remember when choosing the location for your vegetable garden is that almost all vegetables require sun to really produce. Try to put your garden in the sunniest spot of your yard.

Access to Water
This might go without saying, but make sure that the location of your vegetable garden has access to water via a hose or sprinkler system. Water is critical in most climates to growing a successful vegetable garden and consistent watering leads to even better results.

Water Drainage
The only thing worse for your vegetable garden than too little water is too much water. Make sure that water drains off the location your planning on using for your vegetable garden because standing water can cause disease and attract unwanted insects.
