DOING TOURS AND PLANTING FRUITS AND NUTS
Q: Hi Mel, my name is Jeremiah and I live in Washington State. I think your book and method are simply the best! I would like to know if you ever go do tours to see people's garden's after they have used your method. Also, how do I grow fruit and nut trees with square foot gardening? JeremiahDONE ALL THAT - NO MORE
A: Dear Jeremiah, Thanks for your letter and yes, we used to do tours to see people's gardens when I had the TV show. We traveled all over the country and we visited many individual gardens filming shows on the spot. We also collected photographs of different people's gardens, spoke to them live by phone on the air and instead of actually being at their garden, we interviewed them on the phone while we showed the photographs on the TV show. That way we could show many different pictures of different stages of growth of their garden while we discussed it with them over the phone.Since the TV show is not on the air right now, we are not doing that and we are concentrating on our website and supplying all the new information and new ideas of Square Foot Gardening to everyone out there so they may use it both in their garden and to also spread the word around their neighborhood and perhaps even consider doing some humanitarian projects - either at home or abroad. So, start taking some pictures and send them in. Instead of a TV phone interview, we will soon be posting pictures on our website and I hope your garden is included. As far as fruit and nut trees, we usually keep them away from a Square Foot Garden. I have incorporated dwarf fruit trees in an SFG layout, but I prefer to keep all kinds of trees, bushes and shrubs, including things like blackberries, blueberries, etc. away from the Square Foot Garden. Hope that answers your questions. Good luck with your garden this year. Tell all your friends and neighbors about Square Foot Gardening and invite them to visit our website. Best wishes, Mel |
