📘 Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew

Square Foot Gardening introduces a grid‑based layout that maximizes space, water, and labor efficiency. Cultivate a wide variety of vegetables—from tomatoes and squash to lettuce and root crops—by placing single seeds or seedlings in 12×12 inch squares and growing climbing or sprawling plants vertically. The method produces a yield comparable to a traditional garden while using only one‑fifth the space and work, making it accessible for beginners, suburban gardeners, homesteaders, and anyone who wants a neat, weedless, and productive yard.

First publish date: 1981
