Product Description

Do you know what the best feature is in "All New 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 . 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 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!

    I will not buy his books, so I have nothing to say about it. It is silly not to cultivate native land and buy all this commercial gardening stuff. Defeats the purpose a bit, doesn’t it?

    I still have not received the book. I placed the order approximately 3 months ago. I will never order another book listed by this distributor due to the lack of follow through even with e-mails.

    good information thats well laid out in an easy-to-read format. the author sounds a little too cocky though and basicaly calls the reader an idiot for ever wasting their time gardening in the traditional manner and makes no qualms about restating this throughout the entire book. i didnt think raised beds or his soil mix were anything too revolutionary though I HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO USE THE METHOD YET so as they say the proof will be in the pudding come this spring

    The technique for gardening sounds great! I am looking forward to revamping our garden this summer using Mr. Bartholomew’s method.

    Mel Bartholomew believes that anyone or anything associated with traditional row-type gardening is the spawn of Satan, and he makes sure to remind us of that on just about every page. If you can get past his savior mentality and self-congratulatory tone, you will find a wealth of practical, encouraging information in these pages. This is one case where thinking “inside the box” is rewarding! I can’t wait to start my garden; I just think Bartholomew needs to cook up a nice humble-rhubarb pie!
