The goal of square foot gardening is to teach people with smaller places how to improve their abilities and capacities.
Vegetables I would recommend are onions, carrots, lettuce, chard, tomato, pepper, eggplants, square, melon, and cucumber, but it’s really open to almost anything. They can be made in practically any size or shape that you choose.
There are several strong reasons to choose a square foot gardening layout. By limiting crowding, the planting rules increase available area while minimizing the surplus space of row planting.
To avoid crowding and let them reach their full potential, similar plants are grown in non-linear patterns, just as they would in the wild. The same goal of making the most of available space applies to the physical design of the garden.
Square foot gardening requires a raised bed with wooden dowels, rope, or twine attached to a square-foot grid. This allows for the growth of small amounts of crops in compact spaces with little movement. Because they are raised, they need less bending and hence require less maintenance.
This blog is a fantastic article for someone like myself who has never done any gardening layout before. It provided tips on things in an easy-to-follow manner. I’m eagerly awaiting the arrival of my fresh vegetables this year.
I like the 5th one. I’ll try that out.
