Research and Resources

Our Research and Resources

It can be difficult to weed through all the resources available to the first time gardener. We decided to do some of the footwork for you. Here the print and internet resources we found valuable, I would also recommend seeking advise from local resources such as trusted locally owned garden centers or neighbors that garden.

Print Resources

The techniques we use may have to be adapted to best work in your region. Most of the techniques we use are right out of Mel Bartholomew's "All New Square Foot Gardening".


The other book we picked up was on sale at a local close out book store, "Readers Digest Organic Gardening For The 21st Century". It contains lots of good info on organic gardening as well as presents well as a coffee table book for guests.

Internet Resources

Jon Kolther's www.growingyourgreens.com in a very well presented YouTube channel that contains hundreds of videos that seeks to answer many of the questions. In fact our cucumber and snap pea trellises were inspired by one of his videos.

www.essene.com/Vegetarian/PlantSpacingsInASquareFootGarden.htm a great quick reference guide for plant spacing recommendations in your square foot organic garden.
