30x30 ft Organic Garden Layout: Companion Planting and Flow

Corner Strategy for Vining Crops

• 4 corners: different squash types (prevent crossing).
• Separate summer (zucchini) from winter (butternut, acorn) squash.
• Cantaloupe in 1 corner; cucumbers center on trellis.

Bed Organization

• Edges: Lettuce, radishes (low, quick).
• North side: Corn (won't shade others).
• Center/south: Tomatoes (caged early), peppers, onions, carrots.
• Spacing: Tomatoes 30", peppers 18", corn 12" in blocks.

Key Principles

• Stake/cage tomatoes at planting.
• Rotate families yearly (3-year cycle).
• Mulch everything.
• Enjoy the design process!
