Square foot gardening

Mary, Mary, quite contrary... How does your garden grow?

Why?

By the square foot of course!

Dear hunny bunny built me two great planters and two wonderful compost bins over the Memorial holiday weekend. They are great, very economical, and earth friendly.

Got the idea of square foot gardening from Mel Bartholomew.

I hope this works. I was really getting excited after reading his book that I purchased from the thrift store for ten cents.

Here are a few photos for your entertainment.







And of course, Ruby has the new job of keeping squirrels out! She is taking this job very seriously.



Now I just have to figure out what I want to use in between the beds and as a buffer into the yard to make that area a little more aesthetically pleasing (bark, paving stones).

Any ideas?
