We admire the thoughtfulness that went into Krista’s organic raised bed garden. She uses the square-foot garden method for each bed and gives each bed a name such as a “Salsa Garden.” Take a look at the well-designed garden layout and lovely photos.
Bennett Manor Garden Story
Krista used the Amanac Garden Planner to design a square-foot garden layout. (The Garden Planner has a special SFG feature.)
She planned eight 8x8 square-foot garden beds—each with a specific name and purpose. For example, her first two rows of beds were her “Root Beds, ” where she grew garlic, beets, red and yellow onions, carrots, horseradish, and leeks. She also included companion plants of cabbage and strawberries.

The second row of two beds was her “Caprese Gardens.” In both beds, she planted Roma tomatoes along with companion plants, basil, and marigolds in order to naturally deter pests.
Her third row of two beds was her “Salad Garden,” in which she grew lettuces and cucumbers along with cucumbers and sunflowers—as well as catnip for her cats. And on the right was her “Salsa Garden” for peppers, cilantro, and garlic.
