Specialty Gardening: raggedy beginning of a growpole garden, 1 by Jaywhacker

Here is a photo of a platform capable of growing 96 plants. There are 64 plant sites on the four poles and 32 in the double stacked containers just sitting on the platform. With years of playing around with these grow poles, I know that you can double plant them and succession plant them and produce hundreds of plants each year. It is a vegetable pump!! as an example: A grow pole with 16 plant sites can be double planted with bok choi, giving you 32 plants. Harvest 16 baby bac choi in 30 to 40 days and plant another seed in its place while the remaining bok choi grows to a fuller size. When you harvest the larger bok choi's, you still have 16 more bok choi's coming on. And that is just in the very early spring before warmer weather starts interferring with bok choi growth. Before the final bok choi reaches what you consider harvest size, stick 5 bean seeds in each of the 16 plant sites with the growing bok choi and you can have a summer crop of beans coming on when you harvest the bok choi. And of course, you can always have small plants coming along in 6 packs to replace whatever you harvest from the poles. The potential production is amazing, especially if you concentrate on the faster maturing vegetables.
