Square Foot Gardening refers to the process of planning an exhaustively yet small planted garden. The square foot gardening plans came to be popular in the 1980s when a person named Mel Bartholomew popularized it in a book and in a television series. The practice of Square Foot Gardening entails a process which is almost similar to the organic gardening in raised beds. The process of Square Foot Gardening requires the plants to be closely planted and compost and bio intensive care is the focus of attention that needs to be given to this process of gardening. The method of Square Foot Gardening is best suited in areas which have poor or less fertile soil. So that explains the need for extra focus on compost. The process is highly recommended for individuals who have just begun garden and are beginners. Some of the benefits in the process of Square Foot Gardening include, water saving, less weeding is required, it is free of any kind of pesticides or herbicides and of course it entails less work and high accessibility. The accessibility is the main advantage in preferring Square Foot Gardening as the gardener can reach every part of the garden without stepping on other parts.
