The Amish Broccoli Method That Grows 30 Heads in 4 Square Feet

I want to tell you something that still embarrasses me every time I think about it. For nearly twenty years — twenty years — I planted broccoli the way the seed packet told me to. Eighteen inches between plants. Thirty-six inches between rows. I'd get down on my hands and knees in the heat of late April, back already starting to complain, measuring out with a wooden ruler I kept in my back pocket like I was building a fence. I'd press each seedling in carefully. I'd water them in. And I'd stand up, brush the dirt off my knees, and feel pretty good about myself. I had a system. I had order. I had rows.
