12 Best Square Foot Gardening Plans and Ideas
Gardening is an interesting hobby. When you have some nice vegetable pots you will derive lots of pleasure by watching their lush growth. At the same time, you will save money and will be able to cook vegetables picked up from your own home garden. But what if you live in an urban area and do not have enough space to spare? Square foot gardening is the answer. This new concept of gardening is nothing but growing your veggies in square shaped wooden boxes to use limited space to grow multiple vegetables.
Boxes in which the plants are grown are 3 feet wide and 4 feet long. Made out of 5/4X5 cedar decking, they are attached to the ground with 18” – 24” lengths of ½” rebar. Strong nylon netting provides support for vines. There is the possibility to use netting to protect plants as well. These are cheap to make and easy to maintain.
For this type of gardening it is not a must to buy expensive wooden boxes. You could make your garden even with makeshift concrete structures. Pictures available in this link provide evidence.
