There is not an ideal way to exclude your garden. The gardeners can choose an anarchy garden, where everything increases wildly, or a fellow-roped garden, where many different types of vegetables and flowers are found. Some people, however, wanted a fully placed, symmetrical gardens, in which the straight lines of vegetables are fully spread over the lines. For those people, here are two ways to get it.
Seeding using a seed class
Planting of seeds is the most efficient way of growing many vegetables, such as radish, beats, kohabi and turnip, but the seeds are completely difficult in space. Enter SeedA plastic grid with holes is completely spread over a variety of patterns, the square is placed in your garden bed, and you push the seeds in the hole in the pattern you want to get. They should correspond to the recommended vacancy on the seed packet, but most of the vegetables I have have the same recommended vacancy: two to three inches between the seeds. Make sure you put two to three seeds in each hole, in the hope that at least one sprouts. You can always trim the transplanting back later.

The seed classes are not expensive, but you can make your own using a piece of cardboard. Create a grid on a foot by a piece of cardboard. Use a hole punch or AWL to create holes in symmetrical patterns on the cardboard. You can paint the square to help to easily note the pattern while exiting the planting of the garden.
If you are doing gardening with foot, you can use the seed class to plant several different vegetables in each square foot in your garden. By excluding them with the seed class, even various vegetables will grow in a structured pattern.
You do not have to repeat the same pattern on the garden bed, either. You can dedicate a portion of the entire bed to pattern seeding, or mix the pattern from square foot to square foot.

If you are buying or growing your own, it is easy to place your plants in a tight grid. All you have to do is start in the soil where you want them- you can see the pattern like you can plant. With transplanting, a seed square will not help – the holes are not quite large – so it is best to use a device of PVC or a yardstick where the plant will go. Use PVC or yardstick to draw lines in the topsol to divide the garden bed into a grid.

With the seed class, you can sketch the layout ahead of time, but usually, you want to keep a block of rows for each vegetable – a block. Not all have the same vacancy in the block, or even go in the same direction. By maintaining the grid, your garden will still look clean and professional when everything increases.
