If a garden layout is not properly planned out, all of the fertilizer and all of the sun will not guarantee success. It is in conjunction with all of the other factors that the layout comes into play.

The taller the crop, the furthest to the north it needs to be in the garden layout. Tall cops such as beans, peas and corn should be on the north side. Stair stepping down is what should be seen when looking south.
