Here is a nice write up about Intensive Gardening. SFG is a form of intensive gardening
43 years a gardener and going strong with SFG.

There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Re: SFG Is Intensive Gardening
Best introductory article I've read in a long time, camprn. I found the garden layouts a bit difficult to read, but I've saved the entire article in Evernote so I can peruse it more closely.

Good article for newer SFG'ers. SFG is by design Intensive Gardening. In addition to the link to the article above, it is also available in a downloadable PDF that can be saved for future reference:

Re: SFG Is Intensive Gardening
I wonder what the publication date is? I will read the article more thoroughly when I have a free moment to digest. They are still promoting row planting instead of by-the-square planting.
I noticed that the original article posted by Camprn in Jan 2012 has been reviewed as of 2023. https://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/426/426-335/426-335.html

Re: SFG Is Intensive Gardening
Here's an article from Mother Earth. The only thing I really disagree with is their peat moss verses coir argument.
