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.

Great gardening resource!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Square Foot Gardening: A New Way to Garden in Less Space with Less Work (Paperback)
I have desires of being a farmer but a back yard garden is the next best thing, the very idea of square foot gardening is quite brilliant and this book doesn't disappoint. While the basics you could probably figure out without purchase of the book, there are pearls of wisdom throughout that make it well worth it. Also just as a reference, it's a book that will live on my bookshelf forever. Wish it had the sowing/planting/harvesting guide for more veggies than it does, but that's just the human desire to want it all!

Square Foot Gardening was bought for someone else and she has me doing all the 'grunt' work this spring to implement the suggestions in this book.

THE gardening book!,

This review is from: Square Foot Gardening (Paperback)
Wow! If you're looking for a gardening book to see you through from planting to harvest, then this is for you!Before I purchased this book, I only knew the mere basics of gardening [namely, put seed in ground, water.] but Mr. Bartholomew goes right back to the beginning without being tedious. Also, he is not too preachy nor overconfident in his formula for square foot gardening - which obviously works when you stop to think about it. The illustrations are simple yet spot on, the list of plants and how to plant them is extensive and applicable for various regions on earth [I live in Ireland and was able to grow plants just as the author described]. If you've ever wanted to get into gardening without investing too much time/effort/money and wanted a simple approach which will give you results with little fuss - then this is the book for you. I highly recommend it. - A.
