I’m so excited to try this and so happy to have heard about it. A gardener friend of mine turned me on to this and if half what the book promises is true, my gardening career is saved.
I love fresh produce and each year for several years I have planted a small garden. Each year in August I finally give up overcome by the weeding task. I never plant a fall garden. Each year I wonder if it’s worth it. We have such a short growing season and we are not blessed with an abundance of water.
Just as I was counting the cost once again, these were the promises I found:
- little or no weeding
- 50% less water
- 5 times the harvest of the equivalent space in a traditional garden
So the boy and I put it together yesterday, mixed the soil and planted for the fall.
New square foot garden
I’m excited to see if all my gardening dreams come true. If they do, we’ll build a bunch!
