Square Foot Gardening is a uniquely simplified method of gardening that produces 100% of the harvest in only 20% of the space -- AND -- without all the hard work and drudgery of single row gardening.

Requires very little space; 80% less than conventional gardening. Can be done in as little as 4 feet by 4 feet, -- or as large as you want. Your existing (bad) soil doesn't matter because we don't use it. Start with an ideal soil mix that is weed-free and requires no tilling. Uses much less water; only about 20% compared to conventional gardening. No fertilizers or pesticides to handle -- it's all natural The planting method requires no thinning and very few seeds. All the hard work has been removed in the Square Foot method - only the enjoyable part remains. Can be started in any season. Produces 5 times the harvest of a conventional garden. Can be done by those with physical or mental limitations. If getting down is a problem, raise the boxes to a wheelchair level. Makes a great family project, all ages can participate - kids love to garden.

There is even Windows software available to help you manage your Square foot garden http://www.mindspring.com/%7Ejmaier/garden/
