After some time of working with this method , it ’s clip for a Square Foot Gardening review .
There ’s a reasonthis bookhas sell more than 2 million copies . It take the vagary of soil , the labor of weeding and the squinting at cum computer software directions … and throws them in the compost bin in favor of a highly engineered yet remarkably simple approach to gardening . You could do a pot worse than conform to Bartholomew ’s advice .
If you ’re concerned in maturate reproducible beds of annual food crops , the method acting is almost unfailing . One might argue that in a survival position it would be about unsufferable to encounter the sodding soil amendment needed to create “ Mel ’s Mix , ” i.e. the arrant soil Mr. Bartholomew recommends ( which , incidentally , works very well even here in Florida ) . And that person would be veracious . However , the new book recounts their efforts in nutrient growing in Africa using straightcompostcreated on - site – and the system ’s continued effectiveness even in less - than - ideal situations .
If you ’re not start into a full - scalefood forest system … or if you have some resources now and desire to get kicking before it ’s too tardy to purchase gracious stuff … or if you ’re scared of gardening – buy this book and put through it . You ’ll be sunnily surprised . My married woman and I create a half - dozen solid - foot beds as an experiment and we ’ve found them extremely productive and low maintenance . For the overwhelmed gardener , Mel Bartholomew ’s grids and directions are a breath of overbold air . Plus , the guy rope ’s just so darn plus you ca n’t serve but enjoy the read .
I cogitate overall the method is too resource and water supply hard , but for a beginner … I ’d much rather see you gardening in a corking , controlled manner with Mel than not gardening at all .
