Garden Layout
Key Concepts
Definition of terms
Farm means a place where agricultural and similar activities take place, especially the growing of crops or
the raising of livestock. source: https://diffsense.com/diff/farm/garden
Garden means an outdoor area containing one or more types of plants, usually grown for food or
ornamental purposes. source: https://diffsense.com/diff/farm/garden
1. Row planting as applied in conventional horizontal farming or gardening is a system of growing crops
in linear pattern in at least one direction rather than planting without any distinct arrangement. It is
practiced in most crops whether direct seeded, transplanted or grown from vegetative planting materials,

both in monocropping and multiple cropping. It is a traditional basic garden layout which is straight and
long rows running from north to south.
Row-planted crops are either arranged in equidistant single rows or in multiple rows. Usually anything
growing tall like corn or beans, cucumber or cassava are planted on north side of the layout to keep them
from casting shade on shorter crops. Medium growing crops like tomatoes, cabbage, squash, ginger,
pepper, eggplant or okra are planted in the center, while the southern end contains shorter plants like
carrots, lettuce, onions, sweet potato. Below is an example of row planting layout.

2. Four Square Layout. Imagine the bed divided into four, as if you have a piece of paper and have
drawn a square on it and then a cross inside the square. Each square within the larger square represents
different plant bed. There are four categories of beds based on the amount of nutrients they need. Heavy
feeders like green leafy plants need lots of nutrients and will be included in one square bed. Middle
Feeders such as tomatoes and peppers will be in another. Sweet potato or carrots are light feeders that
like potassium in the soil and will be grown together accordingly. Soil builders are those veggies that
leach nitrogen into the soil such as peas and beans will be grouped together.

3. Block Layout. Also called close row or wide row planting, this method increases yields significantly
over a traditional row style layout. It also suppresses weeds. The idea is to plant vegetables in rectangular
beds or blocks instead of long single rows, similar to that of square foot but with whatever measurement
you need. It is ideal for growing leafy vegetables and small root crops such as lettuce, radish, pechay,
cabbage, bush beans, or eggplants. It eliminates the need for surplus walkways, thus maximizing
premium gardening space. The plants are grouped together densely and therefore need fertile, well-
drained soil rich in organic matter. They will need fertilization due to high density. Try not to overcrowd
the veggies when using this method as this reduces air circulation and can result in disease. The bed
should be 3-4 feet wide and anything length desired. This width makes it easy to reach into bed to weed,
harvest or replant. Plant crops with equal space between adjacent plants in both directions. For instance,
space a carrot patch on a 3 by 3inch center. Below is an illustration of a Block Layout garden.
4. Vertical Layout. These is designed for people having little to no traditional garden space. Rather than
planting in your typical garden bed, you take advantage of vertical space, growing plants along trellises,
hanging baskets or even up side down. In vertical farming, you can use plastic bottles or containers like
soda bottles or water bottles to plant lettuce, pechay or spring onions and you can hang it in your wall.
Below is an example of vertical garden layout.

Systems of Planting
Key Concepts
An orchard is an intentional plantation of trees or shrubs that is maintained for food production.
Orchards comprise fruit- or nut-producing trees which are generally grown for commercial production.
source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchard
The system of planting to be adopted is selected after considering the slope of land, purpose of
utilizing the orchard space, convenience etc. Generally, six systems of planting are recommended for
fruit trees.
B. Rectangular system
C. Triangular system
5
D. Hexagonal system
F. Contour system
The planting system design that is appropriate for a hilly area is contour system. Square, rectangle,
hexagonal, triangular, and quincunx can be used as planting system for lowland area.
