Hello, everyone! I'm kinda new to gardening, however I worked in my parents' garden every year as a child and teenager. I learned a lot from them, including canning. With all that experience, I bombed in my garden last year. So, I'm getting ready to try it again this year. I'm willing to learn for my mistakes and from others. Here's to a great year of gardening!

Welcome to the Forum from California. $glad you\'re here$ The best place to start is to read the 2nd or 3rd Edition of the book, All New Square Foot Gardening. Raised beds filled with Mel's Mix and topped with a grid. I think the rate of success with this method is the Mel's Mix, which is 1/3 compost to feed the plants, and 1/3 fluffed peat moss and 1/3 coarse vermiculite for friability and moisture retention. The book is quick reading and has a lot of photos and diagrams.


	Hello Guest! Welcome to the official Square Foot Gardening Forum. There's lots to learn here by reading as a guest. However, if you become a member (it's free, ad free and spam-free) you'll have access to our large vermiculite databases, our seed exchange spreadsheets, Mel's Mix calculator, and many more members' pictures in the Gallery. Enjoy.
