Nothing compares to the flavor of food that is grown in healthy soil, without pesticides, and allowed to grow until just the right time for harvesting. Square foot gardening uses only 20% of the land space of a conventional garden and saves both water and time. There is no tilling of the soil so anybody can do it. This method will be fully
explained, so you may create your own square foot garden, with lessons on setup, planting, watering, growing vertically, pest control and harvesting.
