Biointensive

Biointensive gardening is a way of growing food that uses sustainable practices. It emphasizes using natural resources like soil, water, and sunshine to grow plants in the most efficient way possible. The goal is to create a healthy and self-sustaining garden. To do this, gardeners use special techniques like double digging and composting, which help make sure that their soil can support lots of healthy plants. They use groupings of plants, or companion planting, to help each other grow better. Finally, they grow the plants closely together, so that the plants can share their resources and the garden can stay productive for a long time.
