What is square foot gardening

According to Mel’s method that square foot gardening is the way you garden to maximize the space, less weeding and uses the proper growing medium. As we all know, that we don’t want to waste our time to weeding the garden often, his method works well for any home gardeners and beginner gardeners. The typical square foot garden is 4 x 4 raised garden box and divided into 16 squares by using the grid.

The square foot garden is not only for vegetables. It is a perfect raised garden box to grow flowers or fruit like this strawberry planters. As you can see, this strawberry planter is a tiered square foot garden with triangle divider.

Square foot gardening pros and cons

Pros
This type of raised garden box has many benefits that include less weeding, fit in small space, less watering, well drained, the right growing medium mixes, and high yield. It is also a great gardening project with kids.
Cons
The startup to build the square foot garden might be costly, from the material you need, growing mix, plant starter/seeds. But it will last longer if you use durable materials.

Below is the sample image of square foot garden construction, as you can see, that you can attach the trellis on one side of the box for climbing vines.

    You’re making me so excited for spring to finally arrive! I love choosing seeds and plants from garden catalogs this time of year. I love the SF gardening method, too, though we have way too large a garden for it to be effective. Thanks for the great review!

    This sounds like such a great book for me – I have a balcony, so I don’t have a lot of space to work with., Will definitely have to get this book.

    After dealing with SO many weeds in my garden last year this is definitely something I want to try out! There is actually a Canadian company (can’t remember right now the name) who sells premade square foot gardens to help you start out – which sound good to me! I’ll have to pick up this book and learn more.

      Oh it is not fun when you just spending more times on pulling those weeds, even better if you can find some company who sells the premade one, I thought I saw it online too, the book has tons of information you need for this gardening method.
