Production planning estimate

Plan around small border planting per 4 sq ft

No yard, or no dirt garden to work with? This one can also be grown hydroponically, often in far less space, right on a porch, balcony, or windowsill.

A starting estimate is 1 small border planting per 4 sq ft. That means one trap planting is a reasonable first unit to plan for, then adjust for your climate, practices, and household demand.

Starting plan

— trap plantings

Planning note: Grown as a trap crop for flea beetles near brassicas, spinach, and young squash or cucumbers. Fast enough to resow every few weeks for a fresh trap.
