[AT] Old time gardens

[steve smith]

I have been doing raised bed gardening for years and find it very 
productive, I even bought the tapes and book when it was on TV.
Raised bed gardening is a modification of the French Intensive system where 
you use wide rows and plant as you would with raised bed gardening. You 
plant the  rows the same distance apart as the plants are planted apart in 
the row therefore giving a bigger crop to the same area. In other words if 
seeds are spaced 2 inches apart then the rows would be 2 inches apart.
Happy Gardening
