Funny how one thing leads to another. I was 'googling' dwarf tomato and cucumber plant seeds that I can grow in containers in my greenhouse this winter which led me to this site. I have been gardening for years, with some success, but I must say I am intrigued with the square foot gardening method and wanting to learn more. I have been following the USDA hardiness zone map for the Mid Atlantic region since we live on a small peninsula near the Chesapeake Bay in a very small town called Ditchley; takes you 2 minutes to drive down our main thoroughfare. I am looking forward to learning and sharing on this forum.

Welcome to the forum!

I too am new here, but not to SFG. I dabbled with it some in my younger years, but never got serious until now. I decided on an early retirement last year and now I have lots of time to devote my attention and learn all I can. I just now finished building a 4X4 table top SFG and hope to post it in the next day or 2. Can't wait until spring to start some serious planting in it.

This forum is a gold pot of knowledge and I have been reading back thru so many of the posts from time gone by. I wish you luck in this new finding and hope to see you around.

Hi & welcome,
I second the getting the latest book for I used to original method and mother earth.
This soilless growth mix ( usually called Mel@s Mix or MM ) blasts the pants off the use of mother earth soil if it is correctly made .

Check out the gallery for big stuff in the green strip /header line and see what I've grown in MM
