About this Garden Plan
Home garden in a fenced in backyard. Garden is within a single plot/bed but planting areas within are broken up to allow for crop rotation and foot paths for access to plants without compressing the soil for the planting areas. Also for watermelon, considering planting them in straw bales arranged in a square with dirth to fill the middle to allow for root depth instead of planting int he ground.
