Description

Problem
Growing space in the greenhouse is valuable. It is the part of the farm that generates the highest contribution margin per unit area.

Solution
By overlapping different vegetable crops in the timeline of the cropping plan, you can grow more crops per bed in a season.

Benefits
If done well (timing is important), you can harvest more crops per season. That can result in more income and a better crop harvest diversity.
