square foot gardening

Square foot gardening is a method of planting that maximizes space and reduces effort. It divides a garden bed into small, manageable sections—each typically one square foot—allowing you to organize different vegetables, herbs, or flowers efficiently. By planting in these precise areas, you can optimize plant spacing, improve soil health, and simplify maintenance like watering and weeding. This approach is ideal for small gardens or beginners, offering high yields with less workload. It promotes efficient use of resources and encourages productive gardening in a concentrated, easy-to-manage layout.
