A Great Book for City Gardeners ! |
|
I've just recommended this book to a friend starting in a small yard. It is absolutely the *best* way to grow everything you want in a very small space! Eight years ago, as a new homeowner, I was very intimidated by the spacing recommended on seed packets. Now my neighbors run when they see my tomatoes coming :-) (and my peppers, eggplant, peas, carrots, lettuce, basil, oregano...) Reviewer:

A Truly Fantastic Idea ... Neat & Successful Way to Garden. |
|
I purchased this book years ago (don't remember when) and was "talked" out of it by a dear friend who lived in England. I told him about the book and the gardening methods recommended. He was and is an avid gardener but living in England he was very limited by space. Mel Bartholomew's method of gardening (4x4 foot squares) was ideal for him and I just had to give the book to him. I recently was discussing gardening with another friend here in the States and I mentioned "Square Foot Gardening." They were also interested in the method. Just on a hunch I checked Amazon.com and sure enough here was the book. Can't wait to get my hands on it again and build a couple of squares in the back yard. This time I will keep the book ... and refer my eager friends to Amazon.com! Reviewer: A reader from Illinois - |

Terrific Book ! -- A Common-Sense Revolution in Gardening. |

I received this book as a gift and it has been my near-constant companion ever since. I can't imagine gardening any other way now.
Mel has a gift for explaining things in a clear and entertaining manner. Join the Square Foot revolution and enjoy more produce with less work! Reviewer: A reader from Los Angeles, CA - |

This book changed the way I perceived intensive gardening. It's simple-to-follow instructions and accompanying artwork made the gardening process incredibly simple. I am now in my third year of following this methodology. The yield in my garden is a testimony to the author's knowledge on the subject and I look forward to reading other books he he has written and will write Reviewer: A reader - |

A Great Book for a Suburban Gardener. |
|
This is one of the 2 books that actually got me into gardening (the other being Christopher O. Bird's "Modern Vegetable Gardening"). Like most suburban dwellers, I have a back yard that does not lend itself to traditional gardening. |

Hi Mel,
I think your book is just the most mind-bending gardening book I ever read. Bought the first one so long ago...could it be so long?..., AFTER I rototilled a 25' x 25' foot plot on the side yard of our first house. That garden was thrilling and wonderful; I made frames on which to grow cukes, pole beans, grew hundreds of pounds of tomatoes and peppers, grew flowers everywhere in between plants, and enjoyed the whole experience. BUT -- isn't there always a "but"? The next year that garden grew nothing but weeds, which had been well-fertilized. What a mess. When my book club offered Square Foot Gardening, I knew I was buying a winner, and I was right.
Please accept my thanks and highest praise for your concepts, ideas, and for the books. I bought a copy of the second edition the other day because we're remodeling and my old book is in an unreachable carton in the basement. No questions, just praise. Thank you so much for opening my eyes to different possibilities. Sometimes a little idea goes a long way.
Your better informed fan,
Sharon
