GRO-WELL BRANDS has partnered with Mel Bartholomew, inventor of Square Foot Gardening.
We've created a
special mix of Mel's
recommended soil,
perfect for creating
your own square foot
garden.
Instead of mixing your
own compost, peat
moss and vermiculite,
just add GRO-WELL
Square Foot Gardening
Soil and get started
on your garden!
Square Foot
Gardening Soil is
exclusively formulated
by GRO-WELL.
Ask for it at your
favorite gardening center. |
1 - LAYOUT
Arrange you garden in
squares, not rows. Lay it out in 4' by 4' areas.
2 - BOXES
Build boxes to hold a new soil mix above ground.
3 - AISLES
Space boxes 3’ apart to form walking aisles.
4 - SOIL
Fill boxes with Mel’s special soil mix: 1/3 compost.
1/3 peat moss, and 1/3 coarse vermiculite.
5 - GRID
Make a square foot grid for the top of each box. A MUST! |
|
6 - CARE
Never walk on your growing soil- Tend your garden from the aisles.
7 - SELECT
Plant a different flower, vegetable, or herb crop in each square foot, using 1, 4, 9, or 16 plants per square foot.
8 - PLANT
Conserve seeds. Plant only a pinch (2 or 3 seeds) per hole. Place transplants in a slight saucer-shaped depression.
9 - WATER
Water by hand from a bucket of sun-warmed water.
10 - HARVEST
When you finish harvesting a square foot, add compost and replant it with a new and different crop. |
