I have been using the SFG for over 2 years as a practical way to teach my young kids about gardening. The results are great, weed work is at a minimum, and watering takes about 5-10 minutes. The kids really enjoy picking out the veggies for the summer. I have two boxes on my deck in Maryland and I usually can get in one fall crop too. The key is the grid so you can figure out how many plants/seeds to drop in. It is a stuggle not to over plant because the soil mixture guarantess growith. We enjoy fresh salads all summer.

I've been using the SFG method for well over 10 years and I love it. It's fenced in so that my dogs can't get the green beans! I have 3 squares. Every year I try something different. I may add another garden this year, only 4 more squares. My sister is going to start one this year. I highly recommend this method..

I have been using the SFG method for almost 1 year now. It is the best thing I have ever done! Growing vegetables could not be easier. The book "Square Foot Gardening" is an absolute "must have" if attempting this method. I have documented my garden from the start throughout the seasons on "You Tube", Donna's Square Foot Garden. Check it out, it really does work!

I started watching Mel Bartholomew's Square Foot Gardening when I was stationed in Duluth, MN with the US Air Force. He is a Genius and yet, I don't understand why his method of gardening hasn't taken over the world and done away with planting in rows.

His method of Square Foot Gardening is so simple, affordable. It produces MORE, decreases the work required to grow plants, and saves money! Plus, it's all healthy, there'll be no "recalls" or "health alerts" if you grow your garden the Square Foot Gardening way by Mel Bartholomew!! TRY IT YOU'LL LIKE IT!" Also, the support you get from him and his staff at his website is wonderful! They are all sincere, and enthusiastic about Square Foot Gardening, and are absolutely willing and available to assist you in starting your own garden, and be successful at it.

I highly recommend Mel Bartholomew's REVOLUTIONARY Method of Gardening!

Square foot gardening has been a favorite of mine for the last ten years. It is ideal for container gardening in the apartment or condo setting. It is truly amazing how much produce can come out of such a small (4X4) foot garden. The satisfaction and pleasure one gets from "growing your own" is immeasurable. Mel gets an "attaboy" from here on the emerald (gulf) coast in Alabama for his innovative and valuable ideas. By all means everyone should buy the updated version of his book.
