sqare foot gardening

The words "square foot garden" have earned buzzworthy status. Lately, we've been hearing them everywhere, and are thinking of putting the idea into practice at our apartment.
Square foot gardening, invented by Mel Bartholomew (of Austin!), is a highly efficient gardening method that produces a bigger harvest than conventional row or container gardening. Instead of traditional raised beds, square foot gardening utilizes a 4x4-foot box divided with a grid system. Because of the grid system, and the idea of planting a specific number of plants in each grid (to create a smaller grid), the risk of overcrowding is null. Tom Stilson
