Event Overview
This 2 hour class covers the 10 basics of the square foot gardening method. Why have a SFG? Because it's the easiest and best way to enjoy 100% of the harvest in only 20% of the space of a traditional garden while eating better food. There's no heavy digging or hard work. Save 90% of your water and 95% of your seeds. This is an all organic system of groiwng the tastiest food on the planet without the dread associated with gardening. We building a box, put together the perfect soil, make a grid, learn plant spacings, amending the soil, and crop rotation.
This is held at my home in a very comfortable outdoor environment. You'll see a SFG in action and how I've learned it from the inventor himself. Learn how to make gardening fun again. Teach the younger generation a life skill. Eat healthier tasting food that has no chemicals on it. Save money. Minimize the effect that inflation has on your hard earned dollar.
You'll be ready to put together the best garden of your life when you leave. And, I'll be right next to you along the way.
