Square Foot Gardening

Best Gardening book I've ever read. I can do this.!! One Square Foot at a time. It takes out the weeding (no fun) out of gardening. I've even found free wood like the author suggests.Will be planting vegetables and flowers this fall.

ALL NEW

The Original Square Foot Gardening book was an inspiration and kept me interested in gardening for many years. I always used the information loosely, but the new book has me excited again, and I plan on doing my garden over completely. I haven't got results on the garden to report, but the result of the book is that I plan on following the instructions to the letter this time.

Great book for the not so hot gardener

Great book with information explaining why this type garden works and why it is easy to maintain. I have a big yard, but I want several small gardens that are easy to maintain. A friend told me about the PBS shows he saw and told me buy the book. I plan to start this fall. The book gives all the information I need.

My own Squarefoot of Happiness

I bought this book searching for a new way to garden, The soil where I live is poor mostly clay and huge rocks! It was wearing me out. I gave up 5 years ago and just grew container tomatoes and flowers. I found wood, four 6 foot planks for 20 bucks at lumber store. (on clearance). I bought some angles and put them together. I followed the directions most of the time but I found culivated soil already prepared at a reasonable price.
I planted squash, cukes, carrots, peppers, beans and melons, mustard and collard greens. That was in April. Now it's August and I am harvesting squash, cukes, greens, and peppers. The green beans and the carrots and melon have not fared well. But I think I planted them wrong The squash took over everything and the cukes unbeknown to me require a trellis although I have improvised using chicken wire; next year I will be better prepared. This book has taught me much and my trial and error has taught me too. I will also have a separate box for squash next year. I love it this method. I am outside more and I culitvate and enjoy my bounty. And I am not finished yet after the summer crops have gone I will plant some cabbage, collards, and broccoli. Vegetables that are agreeable to cooler weather. I want to thank the author for he has changed my life. Mr Bartholomew. Thank you for introducing me to home grown vegetables which has also led me to more time in the kitchen. I grew herbs in pots. My culinary world has expanded and I bought a swing to sit outside and marvel at my garden on cool summer evenings. Thank you so much. You brought out the country in a city girl!

Good Information

This book helps the novice not to make many the mistakes a novice will do. I like gleaning from other's experience.
