Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: All New SFG Comment: Have the original. This is a great book. If you want to qarden this is the way. Customer Rating: Summary: An Australian perspective Comment: All New Square Foot Gardening The best value garden book I have purchased. I am in the process of setting up a limited site vegetable garden and Mel Bartholomew's SFG is the ideal answer. While conversions have to be made for the northern hemisphere seasons as to those 'down under', it is informative and entertaining notwithstanding the author's excess description of his history and early program implementation. I have no doubt using this method of gardening is the way of the future. It saves water, fertilisers, insecticides and time. Bartholomew has put together an easy to read "do it yourself" compact and productive gardening program for the oldest/infirmed to the youngest gardener. The book is a must for any serious gardener wanting to save resources while improving productivity. I regret SFG has not been promoted in Australia earlier. Customer Rating: Summary: Good Information Comment: This book helps the novice not to make many the mistakes a novice will do. I like gleaning from other's experience. Customer Rating: Summary: My own Squarefoot of Happiness Comment: I bought this book searching for a new way to garden, The soil where I live is poor mostly clay and huge rocks! It was wearing me out. I gave up 5 years ago and just grew container tomatoes and flowers. I found wood, four 6 foot planks for 20 bucks at lumber store. (on clearance). I bought some angles and put them together. I followed the directions most of the time but I found culivated soil already prepared at a reasonable price. I planted squash, cukes, carrots, peppers, beans and melons, mustard and collard greens. That was in April. Now it's August and I am harvesting squash, cukes, greens, and peppers. The green beans and the carrots and melon have not fared well. But I think I planted them wrong The squash took over everything and the cukes unbeknown to me require a trellis although I have improvised using chicken wire; next year I will be better prepared. This book has taught me much and my trial and error has taught me too. I will also have a separate box for squash next year. I love it this method. I am outside more and I culitvate and enjoy my bounty. And I am not finished yet after the summer crops have gone I will plant some cabbage, collards, and broccoli. Vegetables that are agreeable to cooler weather. I want to thank the author for he has changed my life. Mr Bartholomew. Thank you for introducing me to home grown vegetables which has also led me to more time in the kitchen. I grew herbs in pots. My culinary world has expanded and I bought a swing to sit outside and marvel at my garden on cool summer evenings. Thank you so much. You brought out the country in a city girl! Customer Rating: Summary: Great book for the not so hot gardener Comment: Great book with information explaining why this type garden works and why it is easy to maintain. I have a big yard, but I want several small gardens that are easy to maintain. A friend told me about the PBS shows he saw and told me buy the book. I plan to start this fall. The book gives all the information I need.
