“Eco Tom's Garden: A Comprehensive Guide” for valuable insights!The Veggie-Bed’s garden plan at Eco Tom’s Sanctuary for the 2025 growing season emphasizes sustainability and productivity through practices like crop rotation and companion planting. This season, we are planting high-yield crops, including heirloom tomatoes, zucchini, kale, and various beans. Our upgraded irrigation system with drip lines conserves water while delivering moisture directly to the roots.
Located in the Western Branch area of Chesapeake, VA, our backyard garden spans less than 3/4 of an acre, with approximately 450 square feet dedicated to gardening. This design maximizes our growing potential and contributes to a bountiful harvest each season.
Our urban garden is a no-till, raised-row, organic system refined over a decade, prioritizing sustainable practices to enhance soil health, manage pests, and reduce weeds. Each of the two 20 by 10-foot sections contains two 10 by 10-foot plots organized by vegetable categories: root vegetables (carrots, beets), leafy greens (spinach, lettuce), legumes (beans, peas), and fruits (tomatoes, peppers).
In winter, we enrich our garden rows with organic compost from our pile, serving as a natural fertilizer to promote healthy plant growth. We maintain a chemical-free environment, avoiding synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides, which supports biodiversity and keeps our produce free from harmful substances.
At Eco Tom’s Sanctuary, we are dedicated to nurturing crops and the surrounding ecosystem through sustainable practices. As the season progresses, we look forward to sharing updates, tips for home gardening, and the benefits of our chosen crops. Together, let’s foster a deeper connection to nature and appreciate the value of local, organic food.
