Growing 5-10 times more food in 5-10 times less space has been seen as impossible thanks to traditional spacing. Thanks to High Intensity spacing and gardening we can grow more in less space meaning more food for your family! Give it a try.

I've actually used this method this year using your Migardener seeds . I'm in zone 6 and I have harvested 3 lbs so far and haven't put a dent in the plants. Good video. I watched all winter the older videos and planned, plotted ,and schemed . You are an inspiration and this method is serving me quite well.✌🌞
I have a 2.5’x8’ raised bed I want to plant high intensity lettuce/other greens. My plan is 2’ sections planted with two weeks in between planting each 2’ section. Is that enough time in between or should I wait 3 weeks? 4?
I can’t wait to try high intensity Vegetables in My Garden. I don’t have raised beds do I need to plant in raised bed for high intensity vegetables?
Outstanding information! I'm still unsure on the harvesting times, though you mentioned 2 weeks for the lettuce. I just want to be sure I don't kill the plant by trimming/harvesting throughout the process. Thank you! I
I’m brand new to this so do you space the seeds or just drop them in a thick (sorta) row? Thanks
I was going to plant lettuce in pots. Was a lil unsure,ty for the info
Last year I was able to do 4×10 tomatoes with 18 inch spacing. That's about as high intensity as you do. 4 is deep as you can go but you likely make it any length. You really have to manage the bottom branches early on so keep disease down. Keeping down suckers early on and allowing branching higher up helped a ton. Planting them deeper along with making mounds at the base after they established really helps with root production. I built a sort lattice grid framework out of 1inch strips of wood and brad nails. The tomatoes grew up through it and ended sitting up at the top. I only had it about 3 feet high but I could've made it higher but it was just an experiment to test dense planting. I think this year I am going to do 4 rows with Florida weaves.
this is going to be real useful in the coming years.
on 3/5, I accidentally spilled spinach seed in a section of raised bed. So far they are coming in nicely! I figured I’d just see what happens.
Your grass is amazing, what kind of grass is it? I might have to go get some and attempt to transform my yard to beautiful.
I have a deck off my townhouse, can I do this on a smaller scale and in large bins?
New at the game last year, I sprouted most of my plants last year in a window, then went outside with them. With the lettuces, I grew them from seed outside using the method you mention (just because I didn't know any other way to do lettuces). By August, I realized everything was a bust except for the lettuces! I will be using this method again this year. From my experience in a dry, windy climate, I'd say you're correct!
Thank you so much for posting this video.This is my first year of growing begetables in ground and I am going to grow lettuce ,spinach and raddish exactly as per your method shown here in this video.And yes I have subscribed your channel
Thanks for sharing
Over time speech pro
I did this inadvertently with my lettuce and just thinned most of it. I actually dug up around 30 seedlings Sunday to donate to my local garden Club plant sale.
How can you talk so fast?
I see you mention thinning out beets, but I've seen your other, I believe more recent video, on not thinning them and increasing your harvest. I have mine in pots and went a little crazy seeding them. They're coming in real nice so far and I haven't thinned.
5x more in 500% less space
Do you have a video where you talk more about the method, through growing, harvesting, etc.?
Awesome
I just harvested my spinach and romaine seeds. I want to do high intensity in a container. My question is, can I mix the seeds and grow the two together?
I will definitely try this
Thank you for this information. In zone 9 a/b high desert would 4 hours of indirect sunlight be enough to get a salad crop going?
I grow in my smart pots and raised beds!
Thank u
Yayy great mate.
Normal farms are wasteful and harvest once and are monoculture
Bringing crop rotation in and cover crops
Flowers on edges
No chemicals i hope
