joeysplanting's Square Foot garden

Garden Type: Square Foot | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Combination I'm Organic!

On March 23, 2008, I converted part of one of my three vegetable beds into a square foot garden. I wanted a way to organize the bed, since I didn’t rotate the veggies often. Since I recently started planting more leafy vegetable which don’t take long to grow, I figured I needed a way to do more successive planting.

You can read a little more in this garden journal entry under my backyard garden.

I was debating weather to spawn off and new garden specifically for the Square Foot Garden and I decide to do it… Although, technically this is part of the backyard garden, I’m going to place plants specifically grown in squares using the SFG method here.

    Thank you Om, they serve as mulch, a feline poo-poo preventer and are also decorative :)
