Garden Plans > 2017: year one

About this Garden Plan

This is a companion plant garden, planning the placement by what plants help others grow, repel insects and compliment the soil best. This is my first year on this garden, and first in the red clay of West Texas. ( previous locations Georgia, Louisiana, California, NC, SC and New Mexico ) some plants are going to be returning year round ( asparagus, herbs in center raised garden, marigolds ) the rest will be rotating each year as to not burnout the soil. I am not using chemical fertilizer, instead having an abundance of fermented hog manure, chicken coop and compost. Hoping for the best!
