Product Description:
One of the bestselling garden books ever is fresher than ever! Ready to inspire a whole new generation of gardeners.When he created the 'square foot gardening' method, Mel Bartholomew, a retired engineer and efficiency expert, found the solution to the frustrations of most gardeners. His revolutionary system is simple: it's an ingenious planting method based on using square foot blocks of garden space instead of rows. Gardeners build up, not down, so there's no digging and no tilling after the first year. And the method requires less thinning, less weeding, and less watering.'I found a better way to garden, one that's more efficient, more manageable, and requires less work,' Bartholomew explains. Not surprisingly, his method quickly received worldwide recognition and has been written up in every major newspaper and gardening magazine. His book, which served as the companion to the nationally acclaimed television series, has sold over 800,000 copies. Now freshened with new illustrations, the book Ingram calls 'the largest selling garden book in America' is reissued for the delight of a whole new generation of gardeners.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Wasted a lot of money on square-foot gardening
It cost me about $200 to fill my raised bed with the planting mix recommended. It was a complete waste of money, as the water runs right out of the mix. It is far too light. He's right, you cannot overwater, but it also does not hold the water. In areas where water costs money or is scarce, this soil mix is a very bad idea.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - gardening choices
This book is very helpful to learn a new way of gardening for higer yields in small areas. It has very helpful advice and good graphics to follow. It is easy to read and understand.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Too many options
I guess I was looking for the quick answer version. Here's your square, now plant this....Not a book for the average gardener. Unless, of course, you are a botonist.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Gardening delight
Have bought several Square Foot Gardening books since they are used so much. Now the second and third generation are reading it in our family. Full of clear, simple solutions and ideas which makes gardening easy and profitable.
