Presentation and Discussion

Before planning a vegetable garden layout, there are a few things to consider. The garden will
thrive in well-draining, nutrient rich soil. It’s probably a good idea to perform a soil test to
determine its composition. Once the results are in, you will know if and with what the soil
needs to be amended. At this time, you can add compost, sand, humus, fertilizer or other
ingredients.

Here are tools and materials used in lay outing a field.

TOOLS AND MATERIALS USED
Strings are used to straighten the edges and
sides of the field being layout.

Measuring tape is a flexible ruler used to

measure size or distance. 

Stakes is a strong wooden or metal post

with a point at one end, driven into the
ground to support a tree, form part of a
fence, act as a boundary mark, etc.

 Crowbar is used for digging big holes and
for digging out big stones and stumps

Pick-mattock is used for digging canals

breaking hard topsoil and for digging up
stones and tree stumps

Grab-hoe is used for breaking hard topsoil

and pulverizing soil

Spade is used for removing trash or soil,

digging canals or ditches, and mixing soil
media

Shovel is used in removing trash, digging

loose soil, moving soil from one place to
another and for mixing 
 soil media

Systems of planting
The selection of a system for planting depends on the conditions and topography of the
orchard’s location, plant species to be planted and orchards management practices. The
systems of planting are also called systems of layout and no system is ideal for planting of
fruit/vegetable plants in all conditions. There are following systems of planting commonly
used for planting of fruit trees and vegetables:
1.   Square system: This is a common system of planting adopted in plains. The distance from
plant to plant and row to row is kept equal. The planting is done at each corner of the
squares. 

Square System

3
  The square system of the layout is easy to draw and provides equal space to each
fruit/vegetable plant. The space at the center of square remains unutilized which is the main
demerit of the system.
2.   Rectangular system: In this system of planting row to row distance is kept more than the
plant-to-plant distance. The planting is done at each corner of the rectangles. 

Rectangular System
   The main disadvantage of the system is a greater loss of income in case of no practice of
intercropping.
3.   Diagonal or Quincunx system: The quincunx system has been developed to utilize the
space between four trees that remains unutilized in the square system. The planting is done
similar to the square system except an additional plant is planted at the center of the square.

The income is increased, and the growth of the weeds is suppressed. The acute competition
between primary and filler fruit crops for water, nutrients, sunlight, and air along with

4
overlapping of branches and overcrowding of trees/plants are the disadvantages of the
quincunx system of planting.
4.   Triangular system: The triangular system is similar to the square system; the only
difference is that the trees/plants in the alternate rows are planted in the middle of the two
corners of the squares whereas in the alternate rows also planting is done at the corners of the
squares in the square system of planting.

Triangular System
     The distance between rows and trees remains same. The accommodation of the plants is
slightly lesser than the square system.
5.   Equilateral Triangular or Hexagonal system: In this system of planting fruit/vegetables
are planted at the corners of triangles have all sides equal in length and are called equilateral
triangles. The one corner of six equilateral triangles meets at a point and forms hexagon
whose all six sides and angles are equal in length and degree, respectively. The six plants are
planted at the six corners and seventh at the midpoint of the hexagon.

Hexagonal System

5
    The 15% more trees/plants could be accommodated in the hexagonal system than square
system if the distance between rows and trees remains equal.
6.   Contour system: The contour is an imaginary line connecting the points of equal height
on a slope. This system has been evolved for the planting of fruit trees/vegetables on hilly
and slopes topography with the objective to minimize the soil erosion. The trees are planted
on the bench terrace prepared on the contour. The one row of shrubs and grasses may be
planted between two rows of fruit trees to reduce water flow and thereby soil erosion more
effectively. The double hedge system accommodates about 22% more plants than single
hedge system. 

7.   Freestyle system: When planting of fruit/vegetable plants is done without following any
regular geometrical layout design, the system is termed freestyle system.
