I owe much of my love of gardening to the late Mel Bartholomew, inventor of Square Foot Gardening. I was fortunate enough to mentor with him for a year. May he rest in peace! - Kevin
I took your Square Foot Gardening idea one step further this year to make it a lesson for my grandchildren. Our raised garden is 6 x 4 ft. We labeled each of 24 cards with the plants we chose to grow (we actually have 4 squares of 6 different vegetables). We arranged them on a tabletop while making decisions about which plants would do well next to each other and considering which plants might need shade from the sun. When our final decisions were made, we taped the cards together, which created a map of our new garden. When we took our new map outside to the garden, we could easily see where to plant each type of seed since our garden was divided into squares using string. This was a great opportunity for them to go from abstract thinking to the concrete as well as making good decisions about plant placement. This garden has been growing for a month and we will be harvesting soon! We're so excited!
Kevin if you care to read this I was inspired to start a garden because of you I have watched all your videos and have a massive garden after just 1 year of watching you -Landon Norton
Mel would be pleased and honored by this presentation. You are a fine teacher, Kevin.
Oh gosh, Dad always used Square Foot Gardening and I got his ancient copy of the book rebound in leather hardcover. I miss you Dad, wish you were here to see the giant pumpkin we picked today
Kevin drawing on his little pad is giving major Steve (Blues Clue’s) vibes ❤
No one we meet is by coincidence! I hope Mel Bartholomew is smiling on this from above. What a beautiful story.
FINALLY… a video for those of us that grow food for ONE person only (myself!). 😊
Have a notebook with your beds design and write down what you plant in each square in case the tags fade or get moved.
Grid paper makes drawing our designs so much easier.
