Square foot gardening
« on: June 14, 2009, 12:54 »
Is it really all it's cracked up to be?

I though I might experiment with one of my new raised beds (which is, conveniently, 6' by 3')

Yes we did it for about 3 yrs and did very well with it, best carrots I've ever grown .
I'm seriously considering going back to it! as I'm finding it hard to keep up with 2 lottie plots at the minute   
He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.

Well, decided to give it a go.

One of my raised beds now contains:

Multicoloured radishes (red, yellow, white, purple)
Round radish - National
Cos lettuce
Batavarian lettuce
Ice berg lettuce
Butterhead lettuce (I have rabbits ;))
Spring onions - white
Sping onions - red
Carrots - Marché de Paris (golf ball type)
7 unidentified tomatoes (choice of Golden nugget, yellow pear, 2 red cherries and a "normal" red one - all transplanted as 6in plants)
Butternut squash
Unidentified curcurbit - either cucumber or courgette (transplanted as seedlings with 1 true leaf)

So we'll see how it goes!

As Mum posted above, I am very happy with mine.  Get so much stuff from it that it is definitely worth it.  My biggest problem is thinning out enough to stop each square from invading the other.
