[0:06] We're here today to look at some of the plot spaces [0:08] in the Woodbury Community Garden, [0:10] and we're going to talk about how to optimize the space. [0:16] These plots are nine by thirteen. [0:19] The gardeners want to get as many vegetables as they can [0:22] so I'm going to show you [0:23] some of the things that were done in this plot [0:26] that optimizes the space. [0:27] What this particular garden [0:29] has done, they've put three walkways. [0:30] The walkways give them access to the garden, [0:33] but it also gives them ample access to the vegetables [0:37] on either side of the garden. [0:38] What you want to do is you want to grow up. [0:40] You can't grow out because you'll interfere [0:43] with somebody else's space. [0:44] You'll go into the pathway. [0:46] The optimum thing is to grow up. [0:48] This particular garden, they put cages on the tomato plants, [0:52] and so the tomato plants will grow up, [0:54] but it'll keep the tomatoes from falling on the ground [0:58] where they rot. [0:59] And then they put some peas here in the front, [1:02] also with a small trellis for them to grow up there. [1:06] They put kale in the back corner. [1:08] They put the lettuce, They put the peppers over here. [1:11] In the back corner, we have eggplants. [1:14] This is cucumbers. [1:15] Cucumbers that come in two types. [1:17] They put the vine cucumbers so they'll grow up the trellis, [1:21] fall over, and then they can pick them. [1:23] Squash plant is right here. [1:25] The squash grows out, stays low to the ground. [1:29] So they put it out [1:30] close to the edge of the garden so that it has room to spread. [1:34] If you have any questions, there's a website, [1:37] the University of Minnesota Ask a Master Gardener.
