Average Customer Ratings:
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!

Big Yield Vegetable Gardening -
Do you want a healthy, bountiful vegetable garden? Then just follow these simple, straight-forward instructions:
* Prepare the garden using plenty of soil building compost.
* Plant in wide beds or rows but not so wide that you can't reach your arm to the middle of the bed.
* Plant so that plants just touch each other at maturity blanketing the growing bed and using every inch of space.
* Choose high-yield vegetable varieties; select compact, heavy cropping varieties.
* Grow up and not out: train tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, and other climbers on trellises, fences, and poles.
* Take care of your crops; visit the garden often to catch pests and diseases before they get started.
* When a crop is harvested replace it with another that will just fill the space vacated and reach harvest before the end of the growing season.
* Extend the season: use cold frames, plastic tunnels, and cloches to get more time out of your season--in both spring and autumn.
* When the final harvest is in, add more compost to the garden and you'll be ready for next year.
These are the fundamental, time-tested practices of intensive vegetable gardening: sometimes called oriental bed gardening, sometimes called French intensive market gardening, sometimes called bio-dynamic gardening, and by Mel Bartholomew called ALL NEW SQUARE FOOT GARDENING.
ALL NEW SQUARE FOOT GARDENING delivers the intensive gardening message loud and clear with easy to follow instructions and simple how-to photographs. If you are new to gardening or new to intensive gardening, this is a must-have introduction. Follow this manual and you'll reap big yields from small spaces. To take the next step with detailed growing directions for more than 80 vegetables and herbs check out The Kitchen Garden Grower's Guide: A practical vegetable and herb garden encyclopedia.

Not for the experienced gardener - 
The book is has good info for the very beginner gardener. If you are more advanced, look to another book. This very basically explains raised bed planting with compost, vermiculite and peat and then heavily over planted on a grid. Not much info on companion planting or plating in general. Great book for beginners though!
wow -
This book has opened my eyes to a new way of gardening. I am inspired and excited about the first box I just planted! Since I live where it's warmer, my fellow gardeners tell me we can have crops just about all year round. They are also watching my 'experiment' closely and have told my husband they may be asking him to build square foot garden boxes for them too!
Mel's a Genius! -
What a terrific idea! I spent 20 minutes watering my traditional garden in central Texas one day (no rain here for months). I noticed that the water just pooled into the aisles where I walk and thought about what a waste that was. Later, as I was walking with my friend she told me about her square foot garden and I went to look at it! I was amazed - I love things well-organized and there was no wasted space. She loaned me her book until I could get my own copy. I got my garden prepared right before the homeschool book club met at my house. As one of our "City of Ember" activities the girls planted my square-foot garden. They all showed their moms and told them they wanted their own square-foot garden. It is thriving! All of the seeds came up even though they were planted by 11 - 13 year olds. The next week I planted my traditional garden. Plants from the same batch that went into my regular garden are light years behind the square-foot one! My daughter's piano teacher has since ordered the book and put one in, too. This is the only way to go!

Excellent, frugal, and i can understand it and wont be a slave to the garden!
