Interplanting Strategy Reveals Hidden Harvests in Tiny Gardens

Описание: Small garden? Stop wasting space. 🌱 In Episode 3 of the 2026 Garden Game Plan, we’re playing what I call “Garden Tetris” – the simple layout strategy I use to squeeze huge yields out of a small, synthetic‑free garden in Zone 6b (and beyond).
In this video, I walk you through exactly how I plan my beds to fit more food into less space: how I group crops, stack maturity dates, use tight but safe spacing, and think about sun, shade, and access so every square inch does real work. Whether you’re in Zone 6b or gardening in a different climate, these principles will help you double your harvests without adding a single new bed – and without a drop of synthetic fertilizer or pesticides.
You’ll learn:

How to stop “decorating” beds and start “packing” them for production
The layout mistakes that waste the most space in small gardens
Simple spacing rules for common crops (tomatoes, greens, roots, etc.)
How to plan successions so one crop moves out and another moves in
Ways to mix perennials and annuals without crowding everything out
How I keep it all sustainable and synthetic‑free while pushing yield

If you’re trying to grow more real food in a tiny backyard, rental space, or side yard, this episode will give you a clear, repeatable system you can copy and tweak for your own garden this season.
