This is our handbook for gardening, and we pulled it out again as we started building up our garden in our new yard - which, with the hard work of Kenyon and my dad, may now be just sunny enough to grow a few things. The peas, beans, and romaine I've planted have sprouted, and the lettuce we transplanted seems to be doing well.
Mel is a civil engineer who came up with the square foot gardening technique to make gardening more efficient. It's a rather fool-proof method of gardening that anyone can do, as evidenced by the fact that I've been able to do it. The keys are the contained, manageable space that means fewer materials and less work. The book is easy to use and informative whether you're an advanced gardener or just starting out, and I understand there's a newer version available! I might just have to check that out.
