Summary

Do you know what the best feature is in "All New Square Foot Gardening"?


Sure, there are ten new features in this all-new, updated book. Sure, it's even simpler than it was before. Of course, you don't have to worry about fertilizer or poor soil ever again because you'll be growing above the ground.


But, the best feature is that "anyone," "anywhere" can enjoy a Square Foot garden. Children, adults with limited mobility, even complete novices can achieve spectacular results.


But, let's get back to the ten improvements. You're going to love them.

?

1)????? New Location - Move your garden closer to your house by eliminating single-row gardening. Square Foot Garden needs just "twenty percent" of the space of a traditional garden.

2)????? New Direction - Locate your garden "on top" of existing soil. Forget about pH soil tests, double-digging (who enjoys that?), or the never-ending soil improvements.

3)????? New Soil - The new "Mel's Mix" is the perfect growing mix. Why, we even give you the recipe. Best of all, you can even "buy" the different types of compost needed.

4)????? New Depth - You only need to prepare a SFG box to a depth of 6 inches! It's true--the majority of plants develop just fine when grown at this depth.

5)????? No Fertilizer - The all new SFG does not need any fertilizer-ever! If you start with the perfect soil mix, then you don't need to add fertilizer.

6)????? New Boxes - The new method uses bottomless boxes placed aboveground. We show you how to build your own (with step-by-step photos).

7)????? New Aisles - The ideal gardening aisle width is about three to four feet. That makes it even easier to kneel, work, and harvest.

8)????? New Grids - Prominent and permanent grids added to your SFG box help you visualize the planting squares and know how to space for maximum harvest.

9)????? New Seed Saving Idea - The old-fashioned way advocates planting many seeds and then thinning the extras (that means pulling them up). The new method means planting a pinch- literally two or three seeds--per planting hole.

10)? Tabletop Gardens - The new boxes are so much smaller and lighter (only 6 inches of soil, remember?), you can add a plywood bottom to make them portable.

?

Of course, that's not all. We've also included simple, easy-to-follow instructions using lots of photos and illustrations. You're going to love it!

We ordered this book on the recommendation of the person from whom we recently bought a greenhouse. It seems to have a lot of valuable information.

Mel makes gardening easy. We made our square foot garden with old lumber that was lying around. The raised beds made it easy to organize. I thought everything was planted too close when we followed the directions. But it all grow perfect in such little space. And no weeding!

Excellent

Very satisfying.

I used All New Square Foot Gardening frequently this spring and summer in my vegetable garden, and I must say that Mr. Bartholomew does a fantastic job of teaching simple techniques that make gardening easy and very exciting!
This book teaches everything you need to know about square foot gardening, including how to build garden frames, ingredients for "Mel's Mix" (weed-free soil), simple composing practices, how far to space plants, growing seasons, and plenty of other info to keep you hooked. Mr. Bartholomew has taught square foot gardening all over the world, in many places where inhabitants don't have the resources for large, row-planted gardens.
I'll admit, I did not follow this book to a T this summer, but fortunately All New Square Foot Gardening can modify your gardening practices one step at a time, until you completely use the square foot method!
I have introduced this revolutionary idea to many friends who have taken great interest in square foot gardening and have borrowed or purchased this book for themselves. If you are tired of or unable to practice traditional row gardening, definitely try this book out!
