Q: What is square foot gardening?
A: Square foot gardening is a gardening method where you divide your gardening space out into square foot (12″) areas.
Mel Bartholomew’s book Square Foot Gardening, introduced the idea of planting densely within 4’x4′ raised beds in this square foot method. This method helps to promote growing space when you have limited growing space within your garden.
The seeding square makes it easy to use square foot gardening! This template has holes for each configuration making it simple to space your plants evenly.
It’s also a great tool for kids! We even taught our 2 year old colors and counting with it!
