One way that you can effectively plant crops in square foot areas is through proper irrigation. You can set up a sprinkler system because the crops are in 'bunches', meaning you don't waste a lot of water like you would if you were trying to use a sprinkler on 'rows' of crops. Look in specialty magazines or online for drip lines or shurflo 8000 pumps and see if they work for you. Fertilizer is also a big deal, but I'll save that tip for next time!
