A New Way to Garden in Less Space with Less Work
What is square foot gardening?
It's a new system of laying out, planting, and maintaining a productive, attractive garden in any amount of space. The garden is based on a grid of 1-foot by 1-foot squares, with single seeds or plants placed in carefully determined spacings. Climbing and sprawling crops like cucumbers, pole beans, squash, and tomatoes are grown vertically to save space. The square foot system lets you make the most of your garden space to conserve the amounts of water, soil conditioners, and labor needed to produce a maximum amount of food in that space. A square foot garden takes only one-fifth the space and work of a conventional single-row garden to produce the same harvest and is easy to maintain so the garden stays neat, weedless, and uncluttered all season.Does it really work?
Here's how much you can grow in two months in just one garden block (a 4-foot by 4-foot area): 32 carrots 12 bunches of leaf lettuce 18 bunches of spinach 16 radishes 16 scallions 16 beets 9 Japanese turnips 5 pounds of peas 1 head of cabbage 4 heads of romaine lettuce 1 head of cauliflower 1 head of broccoliWho can use the square foot method?
Beginning gardeners; suburban gardeners with small lots; homesteaders and large-scale gardeners who want to save space, time, and work; older folks who need to streamline their gardening activities; and busy people of all ages who don't have much time to spend on gardening chores.Check nearby libraries
