Tip # 10 grow only what your family will eat. Do and inventory of what you eat and break down dishes to find what is available for you to grow. Example: spaghetti sauce is mainly tomatoes but there are also many spices that can be grown towards making that sauce more your own.

how about grafting potatoes with tomatoes? the plant could then give you potato tubers down below and fresh tomatoes from above....

Good tips! One more tip is to look into companion planting to deter pests and attract the good bugs. Flowers or herbs are good choices to interplant with your main crop.

I hope you and other viewers will consider looking up a book titled "How to have a green thumb without an aching back" by Ruth Stout. She can save you money and pain. To many people are making money off of people's lack of knowledge and experience.

-
Is the wood you used pressure treated? and is there a weed or bug barrier laid out on the bottom of each bed?
