might if you want to take the extra step, grow and use wild gourds. The leaves are the only plant that no bug will eat. so making a sun tea with the leaves means after you spay it on your plants–no bugs.
if you are in the mood.

You can also use small planting pots, a barrel or a small tub and grow things. Like I’ve got potatoes in a small barrel, and every time the plant gets to be about five inches tall, I cover it up 3/4 way with dirt, then it produces more potatoes, cuz it has to grow taller. Try it out for yourself.

I’m not Mel, but thanks! Sounds like you’re doing great- keep up the good work. We need more of these Prosperity Gardens across the American landscape.

Trish

Love your book. And love my raised garden beds in my back yard. We have eaten great veggies and fruit all summer.

How to Sleep Better

We’ve been doing SFG for a couple years now and it is so much better than the old way. Lower costs (especially after getting started), less waste, less water, and a lot less weeding. I spend more time getting my crops ready for the table.

How to Sleep Better

David Will, founder of the Organic Living Club (OLC) in South Texas discussed using barrels to grow produce during our December meeting. You can watch it here:

I love SFG, I live in a city and have limited space so this system is wonderful. We have fruitfull crops year rounds thanks to SFG. The only improvment I ask for is translating SFG to crcular barrel type planters because I have 4 of those and would like to maximize their use as well.

So glad to have found your video. Square Foot Gardening is something I am planning for the 2009 growing season.

Thanks

This guy is no alan chadwick.

Raised bed gardening is great and attractive. I think row planting is best for large plots and more farm scale stuff. Intensive planting requires a lot of water. True the shade of the leaves holds it in the ground but the close planting causes a lot of competition for water among the plants.

What a tosser. He never invented this. It was being used in France well before he was even thought of!! What a cheek to claim HE invented it. The shame

Thank you so much

I’d stick to a local nursery for the ingredients- they need your support more than the box stores. Fertile Garden Supply carries quality organic products and will ship’em anywhere if its legal to do. Google’em and you’ll find’em.

Thanks for all this beautiful information. Where can you get these ingredients? Hardware store or Home Depot?

Making Friends

It is easy! The box is bottomless. I recommend a different mixture than what Mel uses. Pet moss is antimicrobial & good, healthy soil is teaming w/ microbes. I recommend the following mixture: 40% compost, 40% coconut fiber, 10% expanded shale, 10% mix of lava sand, green-sand, and alfalfa meal. Also use stone, brick or concrete bricks for your SFG, instead of wood or any other material. Good luck & keep us posted!

Thanks for this video, i have never been successful at gardening. This seems easy? Does the box have a bottom in in?

Square foot gardening has been a revolution in backyard gardens. Couldn’t be easier.
