Adapted from the U.S. bestseller All New Square Foot Gardening, this new edition applies the proven principles of square foot gardening to the European growing environment. The entire book has been converted to the metric system, but the adaptations go much deeper than that. We consulted the finest gardening editors in Great Britain for the conversion of author Mel Bartholomew’s classic guide, and they made sure that all of the inputs and outputs described in this book are sensible for the European market. Plant selections have been adjusted for British and Northern European climates and growing seasons; even the language has been Anglicized to communicate in a precise and natural way with European gardeners. This is the world’s most fail-safe method for growing produce at home, and now it is finally available for consumption outside of the United States. Vegetables, cutting flowers, and landscape plants can all be grown with amazing results (and virtually no weeding) using the square metre approach. There is a reason that the U.S. editions of this book have sold more than two million copies: metre or foot, the method works.

In times of economic hardship our best resources are the ones under our direct control, this is an evergreen cornerstone of any self-sufficiency theory. When facing uncertainty we must hang on to certainties Coping with hardship times, though, was not the main reason I started my path of self-sufficiency. What I was looking for was something we often talk about, sometimes dream about, but rarely act to get: I'm talking about Freedom. Freedom and gratification, that's what made me start. Two things that, think about it, go frequently together. Applied to gardening that was freedom from the supply chain and gratification from my own work's outcomes. The path of self-sufficiency can begin with a very little action and can lead you much farther than you can imagine. Growing your own food, or just part of it in the beginning, is a great place to start. And Square Foot Gardening is the best way to do it, because it requires a relatively small amount of space, time and money to get started and it will still reward you with a variety of products. As to passion though, the more you put in the better. In Square Foot Gardening you will discover: how to get started with just a 4x8 feet spot in your backyard why plants have friends too (and are happier when they are around) what a raised bed is and how to easily build one the best recipe to make the perfect soil why the best pesticide is not pesticide the one planting you probably would not think about Square Foot Gardening is the perfect place to start growing your first vegetables. Even if you have little or none experience in vegetable gardening. Even if you have, or think to have, little time to dedicate to that. And I promise... no matter how good it is, no tomato will ever taste like the one you grew on your own.

Harvest, preserve, and enjoy the best fruits and veggies from your home garden! Square Foot Gardening: Harvest Time Cookbook is the latest title from the inventors and teachers of the Square Foot Gardening method. A gardening book that focuses on harvest and related tasks, it includes preservation and cooking information for over two dozen fruits and vegetables. Along with some basic growing tips for each type of produce, Square Foot Gardening: Harvest Time Cookbook shows a clear photo of what each fruit or vegetable should look like when it is ready for picking, includes helpful storage tips, and features several tested recipes to take your gardening efforts to your table! Whether you are growing in a Square Foot Garden, a straw bale garden, or an ordinary row garden, knowing when to pick produce can be a tricky matter. Picking too early limits yield and prevents the full flavor of the vegetable or fruit from developing. Picking too late means eating produce that's past its prime. Photos of perfectly ripe specimens of every vegetable and fruit ensure that you'll know the ideal time to harvest. Square Foot Gardening: Harvest Time Cookbook is a beautiful, practical new garden book that gives complete insight into tips, tricks, and timing of the harvest.
