January 2015- Page 21 Gardens Of Delight ‘Square Foot Gardening’ Can Be A More Efficient Way To Garden
By Domia Derkach
It’s 2015! Last year’s calendars have been replaced and plans are being made for the year ahead. Some gardeners may plan to grow some new plants they have not grown before; others may have ideas for more efficient methods of gardening. One such method could be “Square Foot Gardening” – a method not considered by many, perhaps because it takes extra time and cost to prepare your yard. But once established, you will find this would be a more efficient way to garden. This method would es - pecially be good for a small yard when you want to grow more in An example of “Square Foot Gardening”. less space.
