Not every yard is suited for in-ground gardening. In rental situations or in areas with poor soil, garden space must sometimes be “created.” That's when raised beds and containers come into play.
In 2022, Shayan Ghajar planted randomized blocks of annual forages and evaluated them for yield and nutritive value and also set out to determine the best sowing dates and growing conditions.
The plants in the field trials were chosen by an advisory group of nursery growers and landscape designers and were evaluated on growth, visual appeal, timing of flowering, density of flowers, physiology and heat tolerance.
