The Square Foot Gardening (SFG) technique has helped generations of gardeners raise their own organic vegetables in less space and with less effort than traditional row gardens. The SFG method is as perfect for brand new gardeners as it is for seasoned green thumbs. Square Foot Gardening means less waste, fewer weeds, and reduced maintenance needs.
