About this product

Product Information

Say good-bye to the hard work and endless maintenance of gardening in long rows, and say hello to Square Foot Gardening. This easy, foolproof, and ingenious method of gardening allows you to grow more vegetables than you ever thought possible in less space than a traditional garden takes. With Square Foot Gardening, you build your garden in a series of 1-foot squares. Each square holds a different vegetable, fruit, or herb planted in quantities that you'll actually use. Gone are the long, labor-intensive rows that need to be thinned, weeded, and maintained over the growing season. Gardening in squares means you won't need to thin because you'll only plant what you can use. You'll water less because there's no wasted space in the bed, and you'll weed in record time because you can reach weeds from all sides of the square bed. By replanting squares as soon as you harvest, you'll guarantee a steady crop of vegetables throughout the growing season. Best of all, there are no elaborate structures, tools, or equipment to buy when you start your square foot garden. All it takes for this simple system to work is a little bit of planning, just an hour or two of maintenance each week, and a bundle of enthusiasm. Once you start square foot gardening, you'll join millions of other square foot gardeners who are enjoying gardens that are manageable, beautiful, and productive all season long. Book jacket.

[[BOOK WAS THOUGHTFULLY PACKAGED - a definite plus for book lovers and collectors]] . Was delighted to see my book wedged between 2 stiff card-boards and shrink wrapped! This protected my book from rough handling during shipping that can create unsightly dents at the spine and the edges. Clearly, the seller took thoughtful and diligent steps to ensure that the parcel can withstand the ravages of shipping and can keep the book in pristine condition! i am grateful to the person who packed my order

Love the book. It's always been my go-to for vegetable gardening.
I love this book. I bought his version back in the 1970s and read it cover to cover. I used it for a year before passing in on to my daughter and son-in-law. Recently friends were expanding their garden, and I wanted to buy this as a gift. I wasn't happy with the colorful, smart-looking new editions. So a bought a copy of the new one for it's updates and smart pictures and this one for it's original charme and ease of use. (My has notes all through it.) I gave them both for Christmas.

Method never becomes outdated, Square Foot Gardening
Been doing the Square Foot Gardening method for well over 20 years since I bought my first copy of Mel's Square Foot Gardening book when it first came out. That's when I first learned about Mel's method way back then. My gardening plots varied in size over the years, with raised beds, 4 ft wide X 20 ft long, in my mini farm area of 125 ft long by 35 feet wide, about 25 years ago, to just a 10 ft X 30 foot area 8 years ago, to now doing senior citizens gardening with just 23 gallon plastic tubs for container gardening. Learned a lot from Mel's book and his gardening TV Shows. He taught me things Mom never taught me, and, I'm a 3rd generation gardner. No matter what size your garden area is, you should get plenty of veggies from each square foot when following Mel's instructions in this ...

Weather the book has a hard cover or a soft cover, it's all the same instructions for the Square Foot from Mel in his books.

Fascinating concept and proven results in this Square Foot Gardening book. Good read!
Fantastic concept and detailed information. A lot of my fellow gardeners use this method at our community garden park, and they have the BEST veggies of all. I'm just now reading - cover to cover - and will be planting my fall crop with this method. Interesting read for a dry subject.

Great book for beginner gardeners
My parents were avid vegetable gardeners, but I could never duplicate the success they had with row gardening. I did notice, though, that they tended to get a lot of their produce harvest all at once, and they struggled to find good uses for the stuff they grew, even though it was of high quality. This book is written for beginners, but introduces an innovative way to use limited space for good and staggered produce yields. Can't wait to try the methodology, which is basically dividing growing space into 1 foot squares and dispersing the different crops grown so that you get rotation and complementary crops.My parents were avid vegetable gardeners, but I could never duplicate the success they had with row gardening.

Great book but I recommend the THIRD edition
This is the first edition of Mel Bartholomew's SFG book (1981). I intentionally bought an old version. If you are new to Square Foot Gardening, I recommend the All New Square Foot Gardening book, THIRD EDITION (2018). I bought this old book for demonstration purposes in my classes as a Certified SFG instructor.
