Buy the raised beds I use in my garden: https://shop.epicgardening.com/ If you’re like me and don’t have a lot of space to grow, it REALLY matters how you use the little space you have. Enter high-density planting. You can use methods like Square Foot Gardening for your spacing, but the general idea is to cram as much as you can into a small amount of space, while still retaining enough space between plants so they don’t bother each other.
When in doubt…plant closer together than you think. You can ALWAYS thin out, but you can’t “thicken” out.

Does your metal raised bed have a bottom? Or is it bottomless?
I like your seed storing container.
Great Video
Do you use this method for all your beds? Also,what are the tree-bushes behind you? Love the videos,btw!
The seed spacer is a great idea… I’m off the creat one, thanks
Found your channel from the GRG channel. Do you have a vid or link for your metal beds?
Very helpful video
Now why didn't I think of that? duh!! I just planted my beets in rows about 4 inches apart. but eye-balled it between seeds in the row. Some came up. some didn't. but I now have a fall crop of beets. Made seed tapes from toilet paper for turnips. A pain making them but it seemed to work. tatsoi I just kind of sprinkled the seed and used a garden rake to work it into the top little bit of soil. Got some open spots and some really thick spots. Your little seed spacer would work wonders on ALL of that. I'll make one. You gave me ALL the information I need to do so plus a picture. That IS an awesome way to do it though. Thanks
would this work on the bare ground? no bed.
Did you ever make an update to this? I'd love to see the results
I just realized that I was underutilizing my raised bed. However, I guess I would have to consider watering preferences as well as pest etc. of each plant.
Hi kevin is using vinegar as a disinfectant for soil before plantimg the seeds works
The height of this bed??
Where could I get the seed storage that is in your video?
I have that seeding square and love it – it's especially awesome for helping my young kids participate in planting with me effectively 🙂
I agree with Jesus…
And what the heck did you do to your knee!?
Hey Kevin!
First let me say that I read your well thought out post about George Floyd. Thank you for raising your voice for what is right!
Second, do you have any tips for using high density planting in 10 gallon grow bags? Would you do it the same as you did the raised bed? I'm wondering if I should plant flowers around the edges and save the carrots, turnips and radishes for the center.
Thanks!
Happy gardening!
I did the math and each bag has 3+ square foot of space.
I’ve been doing square foot gardening for a cpl yrs in my small urban community garden plot. Definitely recommend this video and that tool for anyone getting started. Lots of new gardeners lose potential yield due to not using space properly.
you can diy seeding square, it only takes 1×1 square of plywood, a drill and a tape measure…. not worth 32$usd come on. i can make it in 10 mins.
I have a big house and a big yard with many soil patches, including three huge raised beds. Space isn't a problem for me, it's just that many of the soil patches outside have bad soil.☹
Man, that square costs like 25 dollars, Imma make my own
