All New Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew
While cleaning up the debris from a tree that was blown over in a windstorm last September (2008) we found that the yard was pretty torn up so we decided to start a compost pile and think about turning that area into a small garden. After a bit of research we opted to try the Square Foot Gardening(SFG) method as its not a large space and we wanted to make the most of what we had.
The largest selling point to SFG is that you can grow more, in less space, with much less work. My family had a garden when I was growing up and, though I didn’t have to do a lot of work, the bits that I remember weren’t all that much fun. I do love tomatoes fresh from the garden, and if I can get them while not weeding constantly and having to till and turn every spring so much the better.
