[0:06] We're here today
to look at some of the 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 13.
[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
has done.
[0:29] 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] You want to do
as 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 optimal 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 that grow up there.
[1:05] If you have any questions,
there's a website, University
[1:08] of Minnesota
ask a master gardener.
