Rick is a Texas Master Gardener and Honorary Square Foot Gardening Certified Instructor. Gardening in Texas clay soil (zone 8b) has its challenges, and Rick found solutions. After Rick’s sons grew up he found a way to reuse a concrete basketball court by putting Square Foot Gardens right on the concrete and utilizing Mel’s Mix instead of amending his native soil. In addition to being an avid Square Foot Gardener, an Honorary SFG Certified Instructor and a Texas Master Gardener, Rick finds time to work closely with the Square Foot Gardening Foundation and it’s Directors, Laura & Steve Bartholomew, creating video tutorials called SFG “Essentials” exclusively for the SFG Foundation.
