How to Choose the Perfect Garden Size
Step 1 - Choosing the perfect size for gardening is determined by where your garden will be located. Read through our "Garden Preparation" page for some simple tips on choosing a garden location.
Step 2 Will your garden have access to both sides or just one side? For example, will one side of your garden be placed against your home or a fence. If so, choose a two foot wide kit. The typical reach of the human arm is around two feet. If your garden is four feet wide, you will not be able to reach half of your garden. If your garden will have access on both sides, you can choose any kit width size, two feet. three feet or four feet.
Step 3 - How many kits to get started? Great question. If you are new to gardening, start small and grow your garden as your gardening experience grows. We suggest two kits, 4'x6' or 4'x8', to get started. We have found starting small results in better long term success. Two kits can easily provide enough organic food for a family of four to enjoy during the entire growing season. You can also add more kits in the future as your gardening skills and needs grow.
