Every garden owner should value this, to use the available space as intensively as possible.
That is why the crop rotation is built up in this way, that the same area can be used several times a year. Where it can be set up, the beds are therefore, one main- and ordered a second fruit. The main fruit is the decisive fruit of the year, which takes up the bed the longest time, z.B. Cucumber, tomatoes, Brussels sprouts etc. An example for that: Late March to mid-May lettuce as a previous crop, End of May to September cucumbers as the main crop and from September lamb's lettuce or spinach as a second crop. A particularly suitable method for intensive use in the allotment garden is mixed cultivation. It offers a multitude of possibilities both outdoors and under glass and foil, different types of vegetables alongside- or. to cultivate together. Well-known examples are lettuce and kohlrabi, Cucumbers and celery or leek, onions and carrots. Furthermore, the initially not fully required standing space of numerous types of vegetables can be used by a short-lived species, z.B. Radishes between lettuce or lettuce between stick tomatoes.
After all, the marking seed also counts (mit Radies) for mixed cultivation. Of course, this must also be taken into account when cultivating mixed crops, that only compatible species come together on a bed.
