Organic Vegetable Garden Plan for a Small Yard Landscaping!This Organic Vegetable Garden is built on a tabletop! We have several small backyard raised beds for our vegetables and herbs growing all these while. However; it will never be sufficient for my gardening project experiments. In mid-spring this year, the man in my house suddenly constructed a tabletop garden bed for me. He said: this is a compensation for my lost spring tulips bulbs. I was so excited about it, because I had a chance to do my own garden design on a table top. Imagine... if you can never have a chance to design a big garden; a tabletop is good enough to exercise your creativities and fantasies. So I started to layout my favourite list of vegetables right away. There are really so much benefits for growing organic vegetables on a table top than planting them on the ground level... When you are looking at your bush of vegetables on an eye level; you can spot the insects fast and hand pick them almost immediate; before they started their damaging plans on your crops; especially they laid eggs upon your favourite plants. When you are doing your gardening on a table top; you don't have to bend low; it is much like having a closer contact to your plants; and you can hear them clear. How to build a tabletop garden for your seniors? First build a four legs ordinary table frame structure and fix them up with pieces of solid rust-free iron plates. Thereafter, lay pieces of flat wood to make the base and fix them. Then fix four pieces of flat wood blocks as the outer frames and support four outer corners with pieces of solid rust free iron plates. Last, pour in your best potting soil to fill up the table top grow box.
Lay a piece of net at the base before you add the soil. You can use an anti-mosquitoes net; or a recyclable Polyethylene Screen. This way, the solid ground and earth worms will always remain in the grow bed. If your vegetable plants are heavy crops; support your table with additional legs is necessary. Otherwise; after the heavy rain falls; the center bottom of the table will sink; and the table will become unstable. Organic vegetable garden with a small space gardening concept!
Place a layer of natural worm compost and ten live earth worms at the bottom before you add your best potting soil. In this way; you will have free and solid vegetable fertilizers for the whole growing season with no worries. How many types of vegetable plants can be planted on this tabletop is depends on the size of the table. Most of the vegetables are suitable for this table top garden. I have planted two rows of different types of tomato plants (ten each); radishes; garlics; shallots; beets; carrots; and one thyme herb plant was grown in between of the tomato rows. Cabbage; 2 zucchini plants; 3 bell peppers; and 2 Brussels Sprouts plants were sitting on the third row. Organic Vegetable Garden with interesting organic pest control surprise! The end of the season I had harvested 3500 grams of organic tomatoes; some white radishes; some cloves of garlic; 2 clamps of shallots; 8 green beets; 1 cabbage, 2 carrots; and 6 summer squashes. The Brussels Sprouts are only for experiment. If you really need to have them for consumption; you have to either grow them in a greenhouse; or protect them fully.
