Plant Densely
With square foot grids and plant spacing guides we plant densely, growing an amazing amount of produce without wasting space.
Grow in Mel’s Mix
With Mel’s Mix you don’t need to constantly amend your soil, and Mel’s Mix retains just the right amount of water your plants need.
Grow Shallow
We grow shallow, raised beds don’t have to be deep. Just 6-8 inches of Mel’s Mix is all it takes for most veggies.
Grow Vertically
We use trellis for vertical gardening.
Grow More in Less Space
Square Foot Gardening beds are compact and don’t take much space.
Square Foot Gardening is more than just HOW to garden, it’s about understanding the science behind WHY certain things happen in your Square Foot Garden.
