Very informative! I can't wait to try it!

I found this to be a very informative book about the history of "Square Foot Gardening" as well as a nice comparison of the old and new methods.
It also is a great "How To" book because every step of the process is carefully described and illustrated with both photographs and drawings. Mel takes you every step of the way including determining how large an area is needed, the actual building of the square foot garden, and many great options for your completed garden. Mel even tells you how and when to plant to extend your growing season.
I would recommend this book to anyone who thinks gardening has to be hard work, or if you just want to try something new. I can't wait to see mine growing!

A gift

I gave this book as a gift to my son. He is enjoying the useful information. Says he can't wait to get started. He also indicated that the book was laid out in a concise and logical format.

Excited Again

It's winter and as most gardeners in the north do, I read about gardening while the ground is frozen and covered in snow. I absolutely loved this book saying "Finally- this is what I've been looking for!"
Unfortunately, I can't put the method to the test, but I'm confident that it'll work. I've been so disappointed with my half-hearted attempts at temporary garden beds in my new yard. Now it's time to really get things going!
Of course, I have a few criticisms. There was some repetition. This 250 page book could have been about 175 without losing any content. Mel seems to pat himself on his back quite a lot. There's a fine line between gaining trust in one's methods and bragging.
Past that, everyone needs to read this book!
