RE: Making new raised beds for onions and garlic.

in Build-It4 years ago

This was super inspiring for me, tho we have tons of work again this year as always!!!! I don't think I'll have time to make garden beds and for sure no time to do any earthworks type thing so it will be an after season thing for next year's garden.

216 plant in a 4 x 6 box sounds amazing... that's so much. Is it really possible?

Thanks for this post 😁

My pleasure, thanks for stopping by!

I'll have to find out how possible the 216 plants per bed is... that's 9 plants per square foot, giving each onion a 4" square to grow in. It waa supposed to be possible to grow them in 3" squares, which is 16 plants per square foot, but I haven't had good luck growing onions that close. It does work good for radishes, and I hope to try it with carrots.
