Product Description:
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!

I had been burned out from the work in my last garden and have not gardened in years. Now I am ready to try again. This method was recommended by a friend who has gardened successfully for years. When she switched to this method, she got 3-4 times the harvest she got before!

This is a fantastic concept and ideal for Australian conditions.
As we have no snow where I live we grow veg's all year round.
The concept is great fun, effective and we are growing heaps of veg's.
Looks good to the eye and creates heaps of interest for visitors.
My square foot garden now consumes most of my free time as I enjoy it so much.
The book is very easy to read and you don't put it down once you start reading.

All New Square Foot Gardening
The best value garden book I have purchased. I am in the process of setting up a limited site vegetable garden and Mel Bartholomew's SFG is the ideal answer. While conversions have to be made for the northern hemisphere seasons as to those 'down under', it is informative and entertaining notwithstanding the author's excess description of his history and early program implementation.
I have no doubt using this method of gardening is the way ... Read More

This book helps the novice not to make many the mistakes a novice will do. I like gleaning from other's experience.
