Companion planting and vertical gardening are solid strategies, BlueHarborTea, no doubt about it. However, don't overlook the benefits of crop rotation. It's a practice that's been used since ancient times and has stood the test of time for a reason. By changing your crops in a planned sequence, you help improve soil health, reduce pests, and prevent plant diseases.

You can also consider perennial crops that'll continue to produce year after year without replanting, like certain varieties of berries and herbs. They might take a bit of time to establish, but once they do, they're a reliable source of food.
