Square foot gardening

[dinahsmum]

My sister was telling me that she and BIL are doing this. Sounds a good idea and is meant to give good yields. No heavy digging is attractive too! Here's a book http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0878573410/qid=1147014060/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_3_1/026-8847406-3723632
but I found lots of references under google too.

Very interesting DM I am certain a few weeks ago Monty Don was doing something on allotments he was at an allotment in Handsworth B'ham and I an sure he spoke to a chap who had been doing a very similar thing for many many years the chap was from India orginaly and had brought the idea (or similar) from there.

He said it worked well for him especially as he'd gotten older he was in his late 80's ;)

Ju says it's good for veggie patches around the house because it looks so much prettier than stuff just lined up in rows.

Have your own patch-work quilt *and* eat it! Sounds good. Now to get a garden that will divide into squares.... (I garden in tubs atm.) :-)
