For easily maintain your vegetable garden, prefer to install it near the house. You will then divide it into beds that will facilitate the management of your crops. Between each bed, a maximum of one meter wide, plan a small path that will allow you easy access to your crops. These rows should be short enough (1.50 to 2 m for example), in order to cultivate a large number ofspecies and facilitate the succession of your crops over the seasons.

We count between 50 and 100 m² vegetable garden to feed one person. With a small vegetable garden, think more about completing your purchases or growing your favorite vegetables! 30m² will already allow you to make several jars to taste during the year.

This is the case for theauberginethe cucumber and the zucchini, whose average fruit size does not exceed 10 to 12 cm, and for cherry tomatoes (varieties with a compact habit so as not to occupy too much space). Do not hesitate to grow these varieties, which you will find in garden centers. And of course, who says mini-vegetables says mini vegetable gardens!
