About this Garden Plan

Our first truely ambitious attempt towards sustainability. This garden uses companion planting to save space and there are a few extra vegees planted to help my daughter who is a single mom and cannot afford organic fresh vegees. We're also overplanting to compensate for possible issues that can happen. We're also planting ingredients for chickens that will be going into homemade chicken feed. Our garden will also be using containers (on the deck).
