The document discusses various crop production and garden layout plans. It provides details on factors to consider when preparing farm plans, such as soil type and plant spacing. Several common garden layouts are described, including square foot gardens with 1 square foot sections, raised beds, and single rows. Vertical gardens are also mentioned as an option for small spaces. The document emphasizes planning efficiently and considering sunlight, water needs, and maturation times of different crops.

5. FACTORS TO CONSIDER
IN PREPARING THE PLAN
1. If your garden site is in a sloping
hill, the plants should be in a row
across the slope to
avoid erosion.
2. In order for the plants to receive
the maximum sunlight the whole
day, plant the crops
in rows from north to south
direction.

6. FACTORS TO CONSIDER
IN PREPARING THE PLAN
3. Provide the proper place for
soft-stemmed vegetables,
bushy vegetables, vine
vegetables, and tree
vegetables.
4. Separate tall growing plants
from low-growing plants.

7. FACTORS TO CONSIDER
IN PREPARING THE PLAN
5. Plants that will occupy an
area in the garden the whole
season should be grouped
together.
6. Fast growing or quick
maturing plants such as pechay
and lettuce should be grouped
7

8. FACTORS TO CONSIDER
IN PREPARING THE PLAN
7. If your garden space is limited, the long maturing
plants can be planted between the early maturing ones
so that by the time they are harvested, the long
maturing ones will
have enough space.
8. The rows must be straight. Provide space between
the rows to make cultivation easier. Provide a space for
the garden house the tools, sees, fertilizers, pesticides,
insecticides and other supplies.
9. Indicate the location of the fence, well or pump, and
drainage or irrigation ditches.

10. SITE ASSESSMENT
AN ON-SITE ASSESSMENT OF A
FARM IS NECESSARY SO THAT A
MAP CAN BE DRAWN OF THE
PROPERTY'S TOPOGRAPHY,
BOUNDARIES, SOILS, WATER
RESOURCES AND SO ON, AND A
FARM BUSINESS A
PLAN BE FORMULATED.

11. MOST COMMON GARDEN
LAYOUT FOR GROWING
VEGETABLES

12. VERTICAL GROWING
VEGETABLE GARDENS
• These gardens are 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 upside down.

15. FOUR SQUARE
LAYOUT
is created by straight paths,
one leading from the garden
gate to the front entry of the
house, and the other crossing
it at a 90-degree angle.

17. SQUARE FOOT GARDEN
PLOTS
• are generally set up in grids of 4 x 4
squares with strings or wood attached
to the frame to divide the bed into
equal square-foot sections.
One type of vegetable is planted in
each section.

19. RAISED
BED/CONTAINERS
for those having little space or
even inadequate soil, planting
veggies in raised beds or
containers is a great
alternative

21. SINGLE ROW
the most basic garden plan
consists of a design with
straight, long rows running
north to south orientation.

23. ROW PLANTING
ARRANGEMENT OF
CROPS

24. SINGLE ROW
PLANTING
ARRANGEMENT
IS EITHER ARRANGED
IN EQUIDISTANCE SINGLE ROW
OR IN MULTIPLE ROWS.
PLANTING IN SINGLE ROWS IS
MOST COMMON IN
MONOCROPPING OR SOLE
CROPPING.
EXAMPLES OF CROPS PLANTED
IN SINGLE ROW ARRANGEMENT:
POTATO, SUNFLOWER, BEANS. 24

25. MULTIPLE ROW PLANTING
ARRANGEMENT
IS A SYSTEM OF GROWING
CROPS IN BLOCKS OR STRIPS
OF 2 OR MORE ROWS.
THIS PLANTING ARRANGEMENT
IS COMMON IN MULTIPLE
CROPPING IN WHICH TWO OR
MORE CROPS ARE GROWN IN
THE SAME PIECE OF LAND.
.
25

26. SPATIAL ARRANGEMENT
IS THE SYSTEMATIC APPORTIONING OF THE
FARM
AREA OR ANY GROWING SURFACE FOR CROP
PRODUCTION. IN MULTIPLE CROPPING BY
INTERCROPPING, THE INTERCROP CAN BE
PLANTED IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
(A.) WITHIN THE ROWS OF THE MAIN CROP,
(B.) BETWEEN THE ROWS OF THE MAIN CROP
(C.) IN REPLACEMENT SERIES PLANTING OF THE
INTERCROP BETWEEN TWO
ADJACENT HILLS BETWEEN TWO ADJACENT
HILLS WITHIN THE SAME ROW OF THE MAIN
CROP ALLOWS INTER-ROW CULTIVATION, BUT
THE INTERCROP HAS LIMITED EXPOSURE
TO SUNLIGHT.

THIS METHOD INCREASES YIELDS SIGNIFICANTLY OVER A TRADITIONAL

2. _______________ ARE GARDENS DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE HAVING LITTLE

3. _______________ IS A SYSTEM OF GROWING CROPS IN BLOCKS OR
STRIPS OF 2 OR MORE ROWS.
4. _______________ IS THE SYSTEMATIC APPORTIONING OF THE FARM AREA
OR ANY GROWING SURFACE FOR CROP PRODUCTION.
5. _______________ GENERALLY SET UP IN GRIDS OF 4 X 4 SQUARES WITH
STRINGS OR WOOD ATTACHED TO THE FRAME TO DIVIDE THE BED INTO
EQUAL SQUARE-FOOT SECTIONS.
