The new village bio-intensive gardening project begun by Adopt-a-Village last month focuses on growing more food in less space. Using a precise measuring technique, based on an octagonal format, our teacher shows demonstrates how to multi-crop up to five vegetables in a small area. Companion plants (those that grow well in close proximity to others), that require varying lengths of time to mature, are correctly spaced, and as a consequence the garden can provide up to five times more food than using single row crops.
