Great editing on this.
Last year was my SFG debut. The only mistake (from this video) which I DIDN’T make was making it too big. I stayed with 4 ft x 8 ft … probably suggested in one of your other videos! Now I have a question: At the 7:50 time stamp, we can see what I think is a “sail shade”. Is that for gardening purposes, or for relaxing in your garden? Thanks for all your great advice. It’s always useful to learn from others’ mistakes😏
I really like your SFG Videos 🙂 I have a small garden and discovered I can plant so much with the SFG Method. I expanded my beds this week from 1,7m beds to 4,5m , with a width of 0,60cm (2 blocks of SFG). This way I only need to harvest from one side, the other side has a small path (30cm wide), but the hedge is right behind it. There isn't much room to navigate.
The part of the sun, is really important. I didn't considered it last year, with the half-sun place and the zucchini with a pole made the eggplant behind it really live in the shade, most of the time, resulting in a small harvest. Now I know, how high the plants will grow, so I can place them together. Also with the netting, made the same mistake, by planing those plants a part. This time, they'll be all planted together. Or with the tomates and kohlrabi, one needed the netting, the other not after some time.
Please make more videos! There're so few video about SFG in todays time.
Great tips, thanks for sharing
Thanks very much! Sadly I’m a little bit too late with my layout design (we built too long, we tried to make them as big as we could in a small yard), but I am happy I found you before we planted, now we can at least plant correctly. Thanks for the tips, you got a new sub. Wish us luck 👍
you are the coolest square foot gardener on youtube. Plus your accent just puts your videos over the top! i love it!
Love your video . I’m 70 years old and still
Learning . I did gardening when I was a little kid up until I was ten yrs old . Then my mother passed away . Didn’t start again until many years later and I owns my own property . Then I only gardened a few years cause I worked 7 days a week and long hrs . Then had to retire on disability and couldn’t garden until the last few years . So I’m learning and relearning with the help of the internet and good people like you . I’m
Learning to have raised beds outside of my fenced garden to plant things that the animals will leave alone like onions and garlic . Squash usually the animals leave alone but last year the deer were feasting on the zucchini plants . But this year I found solar powered animal pest repellers on ebay so far they work good except for rabbits the rabbits aren’t afraid of them I put horseradish in one raised bed that’s working out nice . I bought 10 gallon potato bags with flaps that you can put anywhere . They are working out very nice too. I plan to get more and I have several varieties of potatoes but no gold flesh ones cause my boss of 50 yrs doesn’t like them but I have red potatoes russet that I bought at store and a couple of the sprouted and I planted them and are growing like fire. Also two type of finger potatoes and Beauregard sweet potatoes kennebec and superior. I guess I’ll let you go I did enough talking on your site . Thanks again

What is that large white screen around your garden?
Cheers,

what is the software or program you use to do the layouts?
gracias
brilliant information
I wish I had seen this video before I planned my garden.
OMG what a great video…. It was very relaxing…. Funny you put a smile on my face the whole time… And most importantly I learned something! And it was short and sweet.. delivered with an amazing ACCENT…🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
I'm a biologist and I love these videos. Keep it up! 🙂
The shade problem with block layout of tomatoes was particularly revealing. I would never have caught that mistake on my own, or figured out why center plants were struggling …. maybe even for years.
Great info
This is an excellent video. Absolute gold. Looking forward to seeing more
Your sense if humor is refreshing! Glad I found your videos, already learned quit a bit. Ty!!
very clear! Subscribed
Your garden is beautiful. Thanks for sharing it.
Wow so much information! I am really glad I found you in February as I am beginning seed sorting and planning spaces.
Garden for me has always been trial and error. Had good and bad luck. But I love it. Been doin it since 1991.
Very informative
Thank you for another informative video. I usually watch them a few times to glean all I can,especially liked the graphics ie sun rise,set over your garden.
Well crap, i bought 4'x12' beds
I keep it simple. 20 squares with beets, 90 with potatoes and so on. Last year I mixed vegetables in squares and forgot what I planted where.
Now my vegetable garden is market garden style with square foot spacing. I also made 3 dibbler stamps for 4, 9 and 16 plants. So if I want to plant carrots I stamp for example 20 squares of carrots, then some squares of lettuce and so on. Don't need grid, don't need framed bed.
very good explanation of to plan
thankyou so much for sharing this information. God Bless
Do you plant seeds or plants using this method?
can you enable subtitles for all languages?
Hello, thank you for this! A question about brassicas that all have the same pest… if you plant them together you can protect them all, but if you plant them between other plants, won't that disguise them from the pests?
