Summary: Square Foot-great concept for those limited on space
Comment: This is a great book for those limited on space. Author explains how many plants are needed for each type of garden, whether it's vegetables, herbs or flowers. It's perfect for those who are limited on space! As a matter of fact it's really the only & smartest way to plant. Highly recommend.

Summary: Great Gardening Ideas
Comment: I liked the idea of a well-planned garden and this book had it all. I set my 10X15 foot garden up according to the illustrations and made tomato trellises using metal posts and wire. I have to say that by the end of the season there was a lot of die-off from fungus. Frankly, 1 foot square is not enough room for the average tomato plant, even on its nifty trellis. My melons and zucchini caught the fungus, too. I'd recommend using this book as a guide and spacing the plants further apart. It did keep everything neat and easier to weed. Overall good system.

Summary: Wasted a lot of money on square-foot gardening
Comment: It cost me about $200 to fill my raised bed with the planting mix recommended. It was a complete waste of money, as the water runs right out of the mix. It is far too light. He's right, you cannot overwater, but it also does not hold the water. In areas where water costs money or is scarce, this soil mix is a very bad idea.

Summary: Too many options
Comment: I guess I was looking for the quick answer version. Here's your square, now plant this....Not a book for the average gardener. Unless, of course, you are a botonist.
