I had the first session of my SFG (square foot gardening) certification class. It was fun and I learned the history of SFG and the benefits of this gardening method. It was a live web class. There were attendees from Bangkok, the UK, Amsterdam, and many from around the United State. There are only about 500+ certified SFG instructors worldwide so this is exciting. I can not wait until next week and I cannot wait to get out and start practicing what I learn.
A few thing I want to share about SFG:
- SFG is a simple efficient method of gardening in a small space.
- SFG uses 80% less space than traditional long row gardening.
- Major benefits are:
- Cost reduced 50%
- Space reduced 80%
- Water is reduced 90%
- Seeds reduced by 98%
- Work is reduce to a minimum
- Things that are eliminated by using SFG method:
- Tilling
- Digging
- Fertilizing
- Weeding
The benefits make SFG gardening easy and appealing!
Eating what you grow is fun and healthy. The Square Foot Gardening Method is fun, easy, efficient gardening in a small space. This is where I will share my experiences and tips. Let the sowing and growing begin!

Dreams of a "fruitful" garden
Yes, once again I am dreaming of a "fruitful" garden. Currently we have just gone thru 2 polar vortex freezes. Tomorrow is ground hog day and we will see if 6 more weeks of winter is in our future.

I am starting a square foot gardening certification course next week and this should get me prepared to have a successful and bountiful garden this year.
