1 John 2: 15-17 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the price of life-comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.
Square foot bucket garden. The next generation. Give it a go, it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-vrwmI5KM8&t=1002s
This gives me hope, I am far from an intuitive gardener, but perhaps this would work.
Great video, need to tell this English information to my German speaking mum will be a challenge.
Yes, the high cost soil mix is definitely off putting and probably reduces it to "experimental" usage only.
Why is measuring not enough? Why the wood squares across the top? I don't understand that part. Less garden planner and more info please!
The new version of this program doesn't support SFG. Sad.
Very helpful! Thank you so much!
There is a CAVERNOUS fire ant colony directly under one of my SFG beds. Suggestions? I have stuck a metal curtain rod more than 2 feet down into it, and it feels like 1-2 inches wide – plenty of wiggle room. Who knows how massive it really is, and they are starting on a second bed. Help! It is under the bed, so I can't treat 360 degrees around the mound. And they are up in the garden soil now too. I tried agitating/driving them away without chemicals, but they didn't leave. They are just spreading. My only thought is to use the hollow curtain rod to get the treatment granules under the SFG beds directly into the colony. Will they leave if the queen dies? Just very leary of chemicals that close to food. Suggestions please?
What is that blended mix of ..?.. and potting soil at 2.27? Thank you.
Nice
I'm going to use a combination of square foot gardening and back to eden method 🙂 just waiting on the seed order to come in.
i would like to download the garden planner, where can i get it
Totally inexperienced beginner gardener here. In the video the gardener program shows so many pants going into a square foot area, depending on what you're planting. I'm a bit confused because I thought that any vegetable would need to be spaced out at least 12" apart. Am I wrong? We have built 4 x 8 raised (off the floor) beds and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to space out lettuces, peppers, eggplants, tomatoes. Anyone willing to help?
Where do we find the spreadsheet? Thanks
Just joined, just watched the video, and already I know a lot more than I did before. Thank you.
Anyone know how to access the garden planner he uses in the video?
Great video thanks for the tips
That was great really informative
Here's an inexpensive way of making a square foot garden, no DIY skills needed. Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ak9_ULfCBiw&t=5s
is it possible to have one bed say 8ftx4ft dedicated to soft fruits? say a blackberry bush (with support) and then maybe two or three currant bushes or gooseberry or even strawberries?. I have just made a raised bed with two supports each end and wires for a compact blackberry bush, that will leave say a 7ft x 3ft patch, my first plan was to put in strawberries but im thinking a red currant bush would be good also
If you are not good with your hands in constructing a raised bed, you can substitute each one square foot by using a 5 gallon bucket with holes on the bottom.
Seems like Bollywood villain Rahul Dev
