Square Foot Gardening

Square foot gardening is a revolutionary way to think about planting and harvesting your produce. By doing away with the traditional rows of crops, square foot gardening maximizes the use of your soil providing for a method that requires less space, water, and time.

In this lesson, Dorsey Barger, owner of the famous Eastside Cafe in Austin, Texas, takes you though all the steps for setting up your own, successful garden.

East Side Cafe by far has the most amazing garden in Austin, Texas. The garden itself is over 1/3 of an acre and is surrounded by large pecan trees. Dorsey and Elaine, the owners of East Side Cafe, are expert gardeners and all it takes is a drive by to see the beauty and genius behind it.

Be sure to stop by for a garden visit or better yet, eat at East Side Cafe and you will enjoy both the wonderful garden and a delicious meal.

I found that the video offered a straight forward view of how to set up a square foot garden. I would have liked to have seen the part where the drill bit was changed to a screwdriver bit but it was easily figured out without actual footage.

I thought the video was very clear as to how to implement the SQF process. She made it look so easy that I am confident that I can do it. My only "gripe" is that the video mentions a worksheet available on their website which I could not locate. I emailed them a few days back and haven't heard back from them.

The worksheet would be useful but I can survive without it. The video is well done.

Good Info
