The Square Foot Gardening method, was developed by Mel Bartholomew in the 1970’s to saves gardeners time, effort, tools, space and water. Today, through the Square Foot Gardening Foundation, schools across the nation and international humanitarian groups around the world are using the Square Foot Gardening method to make inroads against poverty and hunger, and food insecurity. The Square Foot Gardening method is estimated to cost 50% less, uses 20% less space, 10% of the water, and only 2% of the work compared to single row gardening. Additional benefits are: virtually no weeds, no digging or rototilling, no fertilizers, and no heavy tools are necessary.
