Square foot advice, please

Thank you very easy to do and great for climbers

You saw the newer model (different garden ) and the Bridgwater Beans have smothered the other one I made on the arch

Some time later.



At our community garden, each new member is allocated a plot that is approx. 1 square meter in size. There are 40 official plots in total and each one lends itself quite well to the square foot growing method.

OP, tell your friend that he can grow almost any vegetable using the square foot method - it is mostly a case of careful management more than anything else.

WeeTam's suggestion is an excellent idea, however, I would say leave the automatic watering system as the eventual goal or atleast until your friend has gained a little experience and can sustain interest in gardening.

Advise your friend to use the first season of growing to gauge the "lay of the land" and to use that data to improve on their growing conditions in subsequent years.
