What is square foot gardening? A simple, unique and versatile system that adapts to all levels of experience, physical ability, and geographical location. Grow all you want and need in only 20% of the space of a conventional row garden. Save time, water, work and money! I am following the square foot gardening method, and I'll be using it as a reference through out the blog. Square foot gardening invented by the genius Mel Bartholomew! Learn more about it in his website , Or order his very very valuable book. It may come in downloadable PDF files too, if you search. 
Here are the 10 things that make SFG different from traditional row gardening:
- Layout. Arrange your garden in squares, not rows. Lay it out in 4′x4′ planting areas. Companion plants can help each other grow bigger and tastier!
- Boxes. Build boxes to hold a new soil mix above ground. Your existing soil doesn't matter! forget about it, and just worry about the new soil called Mel's Mix.
- Aisles. Space boxes 3′ apart to form walking aisles. It makes it easier to walk and sit around the boxes, especially when your plants get really big and spill out of the boxes a little.
- Soil. Fill boxes with Mel’s special soil mix: 1/3 blended compost (please please make your own! The compost sold in Kuwait is a little shady) , 1/3 peat moss, and 1/3 coarse vermiculite (All available in True Value).
- Grid. Make a permanent square foot grid for the top of each box. A MUST!
- Care. NEVER WALK ON YOUR GROWING SOIL. This is how the soil stays so fluffy and airy for the roots stay happy. Tend your garden from the aisles.
- Select. Plant a different flower, vegetable, or herb crop in each square foot, using 1, 4, 9, or 16 plants per square foot. You might, for example, plant a single tomato in a square, but you’d plant 16 carrots in another. Using this system, you can cram a lot of garden into a small space and still get excellent yields.
- Plant. Conserve seeds. Plant only a pinch (2 or 3 seeds) per hole. Place transplants in a slight saucer-shaped depression. This means you wont waste seeds! The traditional way is to plant lots of seeds then cut off the majority and leave the strongest.
- Water. Water by hand from a bucket of sun-warmed water.
- Harvest. When you finish harvesting a square foot, add only compost and replant it with a new and different crop.
I decided how big of an area I want to use, I am placing my SFG on the roof of my house, which I made sure received at least 8 hours of full sun. I am going big and starting with lots of boxes. So after thorough planning I decided I want two 4x4 square foot boxes (which is the standard) two smaller boxes for root vegetables like carrots and potatoes, and one long box for herbs. You can download the guide I created for the carpenters here . Its not the most accurate illustration of what the boxes look like in the end, but the numbers are right.
You can change the measurements how ever you like, most importantly, you have to make sure each square is 1ft squared in size= 30 cm. Also Most vegetables require 6 inches of soil, I've decided to use around 20cm. If the boxes are placed over a garden/soil, they don't need bottoms. In my case, I have to apply bottoms since they're going to be in the roof. The bottoms are waterproof 2cm thick plywood. The plywood has to have around 0.6 cm holes drilled in each square, plus in the corners. My boxes have weird squares in the plywood because the carpenter mistook 0.6cm for huge 6cm holes, I had them fix them without problems. Potato/Carrot beds: 
One of the 4x4' beds with the herb bed: 
You can of course build your own boxes, and a very detailed guide is in the book. Im sure its much more fun.I don't have the skill or time, so I had the boxes done for 50KD total, 30 for the wood and 20 for the building. The work was done by Ibrahim in Classic Design Carpentry : 
Don't forget, you can collect sawdust for free and use it as a carbon source in your compost! Maybe I'll paint the outsides of the boxes with the kids before the season starts, what do you think?

Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your article seem to be running off the screen in Ie. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The style and design look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon. Many thanks

Благодарю вас, за то что вернули мне моего любимого мужа! Девочки, у кого тоже проблема, мой вам совет женский как от прочувствовавшей всю беду на себе. Если почудилось, будто отношения начали меняться, или ваш мужчина лишнего задерживается на работе, или же если он не хочет провести вместе время, не делает предложений как раньше делал куда-то вместе сьездить, в кафе, ресторан сходить. Держите ухо в остро! Есть сильная вероятность, что у него есть другая женщина. Как только вам это показалось – скорей обратитесь к Марии Степановне в городе!!! Увы, я, к сожалению своему поздновато почувствовала. Пыталась привлечь к себе его внимание, обижалась. Происходило это Около года. Почти все праздники я оставалась одна, а он якобы с друзьями. Было горько, грустно и больно. Я и теперь спустя 4 мес вспоминаю это со слезами. Спасибо вам Мария Степановна за помощь в возврате мужа от любовницы и вашим мудрым советам. Я помню, как вы убеждали не скандалить меня, крепиться и ждать как подействует обряд. Все получилось! Не поверите, девочки, но он стал таким, знаете, как казался до всего этого. Будто прозрел, сам мне объясняет, что не понимает, а для чего загулял, когда его всегда ждет любимая рядом! У меня и слезы, и радость, от слов таких!!! Избави Господь нас всех, девочки от потери любви!!! Счастья всем и тепла! Благо дарю вам, Мария!

[b]Привет, друзья[/b]!
Всегда считал, что покупка диплома о высшем образовании — это миф. Но, оказалось, что все возможно! Сначала искал информацию по теме: купить диплом в стерлитамаке, купить диплом в благовещенске, купить морской диплом, купить диплом в йошкар-оле, купить диплом в краснодаре, а затем перешел на дипломы вузов. Подробнее можно узнать здесь: https://www.kino-ussr.ru/1792-bratya-karamazovy-1968.html
Оказалось, что все возможно и официально, с упрощенными программами обучения. Теперь у меня диплом московского вуза нового образца, и я рекомендую вам воспользоваться этим шансом!
Хорошей учебы!
