Change Your Way of Thinking. |
|
I grew up near Baton Rouge. We had three acres of land with about 20,000 square feet of garden. I was the only boy in the family, so during the summers when Dad was at work, I got to work that half acre all by myself. I hated gardening and swore I would never inflict this curse on my kids. |

Want a garden without a lot of hassle, work, or space needed? This book is for you! Wow. Building, maintaining, and growing in an efficient manner. Want to have a garden but are limited on space or are renting and can't till up the lawn? Get this book! It will be worth the cost to start this garden--you will never need to till again if you follow Mel Bartholomew. I even looked up a few web-sites for Square foot discussions. You will not be disappointed. Reviewer: amberleeb from MI - |

Square Foot Gardening is a must read for anyone who has tried gardening the traditional way and then given up. If you like the benefits of healthy produce but don't want the backbreaking tedious work a traditional garden affords, then this is the book for you. Reviewer: Dan Owen from Forsyth, Missouri - |

Perfect for Beginners and Veteran Gardeners Alike ! |
|
This "gardening instruction manual" is a perfect fit for our 90's lifestyle - not enough time, and small yards instead of acreage. Good organic info (fertilizer, compost, etc)too. I first purchased this book in the early 80's as a newly-wed with the idea that I might like to try a small garden. The square foot garden concept is so simple, and the garden is so easy to maintain that I have used it since then Reviewer: DIANNE from Houston, TX - |

This is a must read for anyone that wants to garden in a small area. Read this book, and books by John Jeavons and Eliot Coleman, and you might just end up going into business with a bio-intensive mini-farm. Be warned! Reviewer: A reader from Pennsylvania - |

Excellent for Anyone with Little Time & Space. |
|
I have gardened the traditional way all my life but was frustrated with the space required and hard work involved. I tried the techniques presented in Bartholomew’s book on square foot gardening and LOVE it. It is so easy and enjoyable not fighting weeds. Also there are suggestions for anyone with only a few feet of space to produce an amazing amount of food. This is perfect for today’s small city living spaces. There are directions for flats at heights comfortable for persons wheelchair bound. I highly recommend this book for ease of reading as well as gardening. Reviewer: (

Excellent Gardening Advice, Especially for Novices. |
|
A friend lent me this book when I expressed an interest in gardening two years ago. This book got me so fired up that I dug up a portion of my backyard and then expanded my garden shortly after that. I've had overall terrific results since then. The concepts are easy to follow and the method of gardening and overall philosophy are excellent. Reviewer: William W. Davis from Boca Raton, FL - |

Replacing "Lost" Book Borrowed from Farmer. |
|
I borrowed this book from my organic farmer. It was so good, and his margin notes were so helpful that I decided that I couldn't give it back. His copy is dog eared, so when I bought him a new one, he was thrilled that he had one in better shape, and I am happy with the one I said I had lost! Reviewer: A reader from Alaska - |
