It always looks really neat. And you are right, it will all decompose really well for next year. <BR/><BR/>I love square foot gardening. You can grow so many veggies that way!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01725324685109415066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553381271462319984.post-10591586997830658972008-05-02T09:34:00.000-04:002008-05-02T09:34:00.000-04:00Looks great!

I think I'm going to try planting in straw bales this year, and then in the fall I'll change it over into a mix of lasagna gardening and square foot gardening (then it will have the winter to decompose)<BR/><BR/>Growing up my mom had a HUGE garden. <BR/>We would occasionally get tomatoes popping up in odd places, or squash (from the compost). My folks always called them "volunteers".Jenn @ Frugal Upstatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11737088723989230434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553381271462319984.post-21033871515660481022008-04-30T22:43:00.000-04:002008-04-30T22:43:00.000-04:00Thanks Kristin!

I have heard that you can grow a bunch of things from your vegetable scraps. Garden Web has threads on the topic every once in a while.<BR/><BR/>I have a friend who is a master gardener who uses carpet to make her new beds. The fall before, she just lays old carpet down where she wants the beds, and when she is ready to plant in the spring they are ready.Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15896941341075639503noreply@blogger.com
