WHAT A GREAT DAY!!! It was so warm today, and we got our garden done!! YahooSo- square foot gardening is the way I wanted to plant a garden this year, because if you were like me, then you hated weeding the garden growing up. This set up is the best way I have found to do a garden it is so worth the money if you like fresh fruits and veggies!!
What you do is build these 4 by 4 ft boxes we did 4 for now, then put ground covering on the bottom. Next you need to have the perfect soil, which is equal parts of Compost, Peat moss and Vermiculite that was my job yesterday. Today we put the rope to
devide up the squre so you have 16 one ft. squares in each box. Then time to plant, you can make them like a quilt, like I planted my pees on the four corners. But this way you will never have to pull weeds and you have the perfect soil forever.
This is the guy who invented it, you can go to his web site at HERE
Happy Planting to everyone!!

I'm totally doing this!! We have attempted to plant things in our yard the past couple of years, but our soil is no good. Too many big trees around I guess. Can you give me ideas of the best places around here to find these things?
OOOOH! This came AT THE PERFECT TIME! I have been looking for something like this!! THANKS for sharing! Looks so great!
That looks so great! I wish that I had room to do something like that. Maybe in a couple of years. Good luck with it, and hope you get some great veggies!!!
ooooh....I was just talking to one of my friends about gardening...wish I had the room to do that!! It sounds wonderful! I would love to have fresh veggies and fruits!!
This is absolutely fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing!
how cool is that! where do you live that it's warm enough to already plant a garden?
awesome idea! thanks for sharing.
I saw this last summer at the Bishop Store house and thought it was a great idea. When I have some land I plan on trying one out. How much did it cost to do?
Rick was the one who went and got everything, I believe it was at Home Depot, wallmart is probably cheaper for the soil anyways. Then seeds, where ever there is a sale.
I would think it was about 100 or a little more to do the 4 boxes, I luckily have in-laws that wanted a garden!
