Creating A Small Garden With Square Foot Gardening

Square foot gardening is a concept involving the creation of a new raised bed on top of available space. The soil needs to be at least 12 inches deep, divided into squares of one foot each.

You can create the raised bed in a large cardboard box with the bottom removed, or at least, some form of low box, in order to include the 12-inch deep soil.

If you have an available space measuring four feet by four feet, for example, you divide it into 16 one-foot squares, separate each square with a kind of slat or raised the length of the string, so you can distinguish them as the plants grow and get bushy. A different plant would grow in each square.

Using this method means that all the plants are pretty available, so weeding, pruning, and even composting is easy to achieve.

You always construct the raised bed, so you never exceed half a crooked row of plants, when watering or maintaining the garden. For example, a four-foot square garden box should be accessible from all sides
