Square Foot Gardening

My friend just built some boxes in her new back yard to do square foot gardening. The box is divided into 9 square feet and in each you plant something different. It is convenient to weed, since you can reach everything, you don't walk on the soil, so it never compresses, and you can manage it anywhere. The soil is a combination of peat and organic material and topsoil, so it is good and light and ready for healthy plants to grow. So much different than trying to improve hardpan or clayish soil. Look up the book, Square Foot Gardening All for now, running as usual.

PS Time to get out there--unless you plot is covered with snow and ice.
