Welcome To My Garden

o My Garden

Would you like a garden filled with beautiful flowers, luscious
vegetables, fresh herbs, but NO WEEDS or HARD WORK?

Well, that’s what Square Foot Gardening is all about.

“I’ve taken all the hard work out of gardening. No heavy
digging, watering, weeding, thinning, or over-flowering
harvest. What’s left is a productive, well-kept, colorful garden
that looks more like a landscaped area than a typical
single-row garden.” -Mel Bartholomew

OCATION

TION

Pick an area that gets 6-8 hours of sunshine daily.

Stay clear of trees and shrubs where roots and shade
may interfere.

Have it close to the house for convenience
and protection.

Existing soil is not really important. You won’t be
using it.

Area must not puddle after a heavy rain.

COMPOST

What is it?

Compost is a clean, crumbly,
rich, earthy substance you can
make for your garden soil. Properly
made, it has all of the nutrients your plants need.

In just about a month you can produce your own
compost. Pile up weeds, kitchen waste, barnyard
manure (NOT dog or cat), dry grass clippings, leaves,
etc. The greater the variety, the richer the compost.
Don’t add fats, meats, dairy, or bakery products. Keep
mixing in new things, turn the whole pile weekly and
keep it moist.

Square Foot Gardening

oot Gardening

1 - LAYOUT

Arrange you garden in squares, not rows.

Lay it out in 4’ by 4’ areas.

2 - BOXES

Build boxes to hold a new soil mix

above ground.

3 - AISLES
Space boxes 3’ apart to form walking aisles.

4 - SOIL

Fill boxes with Mel’s special soil mix:

1/3 compost. 1/3 peat moss,

and 1/3 coarse vermiculite.

5 - GRID

Make a square foot grid for the top of each box.

A MUST!

6 - CARE

NEVER WALK ON YOUR GROWING SOIL.

Tend your garden from the aisles.

7 - SELECT

Plant a different flower, vegetable, or herb crop

in each square foot, using 1, 4, 9, or 16 plants

per square foot.

8 - PLANT

Conserve seeds. Plant only a pinch (2 or 3

seeds) per hole. Place transplants in a slight

saucer-shaped depression.

9 - WATER

Water by hand from a bucket of sun-warmed

water.

10 - HARVEST

When you finish harvesting a square foot, add

compost and replant it with a new and different

crop.
