Donna's Square Foot Garden Part 2

[GardenMatreshka]

Hi Donna! I was checking out your older videos after you mentioned your square foot garden in a comment the other day. WOW!!! Yours looks very impressive. Mine is so tiny compared to this, but I have very few sunny spots available. I love how your voice changed the minute your little boy ran out into the garden, too cute! :-)  Have a wonderful day!

Did you have a container garden the first year you started?

[serenity4904]

Isn't SFG too much fun? I may never plant in the dirt again! Go vertical with Mel's trellis,per the new SFG bookm cheap and sturdy, did it last year and was amazed. Had to replace the nylon netting only due to a rescued litter of pups. It is good for any climbing or vining plant. Keep us posted!

Easy solution to the grass-mowing problem - More Garden!!! Yay. But then, I'm in central FL, and I'm beginning to hate grass. We've got a choice between St. Augustine, which eats water, and gets eaten by pests every three years, or Bahia, which looks like you just mowed a cow pasture. Bleah. I'm ready to make it all garden and sell my mower.

Its really nice.

Having a beautiful garden, nice plants, healthy child. Looks like a perfect life.

I like the fountain with solar panel.

[dylan14570]

Thank you!

This looks really nice....how about an update on the growing season? I have never seen this watering method. Is that a regular sprinkler or is it a drip-emitter?...very nice job...

[dylan14570]

Check out my other videos to see the highlights. Also, the watering method is a pop up head which puts out a gentle, low spray. Thank you!

Your garden is lovely. I love the solar panels. Maybe you could add some support poles for your trellises if they seem like they aren't going to be strong enough. They are beautiful.

[dylan14570]

Thank you so much. I highly recommend making a squsre foot garden. I wish I had done this many years ago!

[thrivesurvive]

I was so inspired, I went and got the stuff to make my own. I found some abandoned shelve boards behind a store, so no need to pay for lumber! I'm so excited. Now I need to find some place to get free organic soil.

[dylan14570]

Do you have the book? If not, I also highly

recommend the book "Square Foot Gardening". It is the best selling gardening book and will explain the perfect soil mix. Not just any mix will do. It is so much fun. Good luck with everything!

[thrivesurvive]

I do have it, and will certainly begin to read it before I fill my beds. Thank you :)

Just beautiful. I envy you all the growing space you have. I live in a condo (which I love) and I'm making a deck garden but space is a challenge. Mowing the lawn will produce mulch, which you can use to keep the weeds down in your garden. Nice video.

Your back yard is gorgeous! I can't wait to see your next video when everything has grown taller. Your son is adorable! :-)

Thank you so much!
