Square Foot Gardening

No comedy in this posting - just a place to put some links.

Square Foot Gardening
A gardening technique where rows are substituted for square foot plots. Google Square Foot Gardening and images of some impressive Square Foot Gardens.

  • Requires 80% less space than conventional gardening.
  • Can be done in as little as 4 feet by 4 feet - or as large as you want.
  • Uses 20% less water then conventional gardening - watering the plants and not the dirt between the rows.
  • Produces 5 times the harvest of a conventional garden.
Double Digging
A gardening technique where you enhance crappy subsoil (clay) with some good growing material. The trick is to mix 50% good growing material into the subsoil and 100% good growing material on top. This should give your roots plenty of space.
