may i ask what you grew in each of the squares?
Good job!…lol…Go Lions!
It's simple, Just go to woodprix page – click the start button and make it yourself.
I bought excellent handbook from woodprix woodworking plans. Just google woodprix and start your journey to the better life

Go to woodprix website if you'd like to know how to build it. Good solutions for everyone I think
I bought instruction from woodprix and I build it very very cheap.
VERY well done my friends! I'm a certified SFG instructor and was one of Mel Bartholomew's assistants at the SFG Foundation.
You are about the only ones I've seen who remember to water after ever 2" of Mel's Mix growing medium. By far and away that's the biggest failure we get is people not making sure the mix is moist all the way down before planting.
A couple things: Mel suggests at least 5 types of compost for greater nutritional value (home made is best if you can) and now recommends there be a minimum of 3' between boxes to make it easier for 2 people to pass each other & makes it a little easier to maneuver around.
Oh, and you can also weave the nylon trellis netting in and out of the top pole OR use cable ties. That's quicker and stronger.
You have done an AWESOME job on your SFG and I'm sure Mel's smiling at you from heaven.
We'd love for you to join us on FB at: Square Foot Gardening Foundation. We'll be featuring your wonderful video on 12/18/16.
This was the clearest, most efficient demonstration of building a SFG I've yet seen. Thank you.
Explain what the net does
It would be nice using someone else s voice to sat and to high pitch to listen to
exactly the video i was looking for!!!! Buying these things costs hundreds of dollars!! This was super easy for me to follow, cant wait to make these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I noticed you just used plain untreated wood, how long can you use it for before it rots? I've been using cedar wood but its more expensive so if it doesn't root quickly untreated wood would be great.
Remember learning this from Mormon Missionaries. Built one. Works wonderfully.
How much square foot is it that you made.
legible, simple and quick, just stodoys plans.
Will you please do a update on your garden? Thanks!
can i skip the vermiculite?
Update from 4 years ago. If you decide to have soil delivered out the front, put a large tarpaulin on your driveway, reason being, you will keep your driveway clean.

This is the best video on this topic….and I've watched a bunch.
Excellent tutorial. Clear. Concise. Well done! Thank you. 😊
Won't the roots be fighting for space underground?
I am not one with a green thumb but this was pretty cool.
Why use plastic on the ground . shouldn't it be natural as far as possible
We’ve square foot for years and love it!
Would love to see more on this, especially now. We may not have access to grocery stores soon.
No drain?
Cedar 2x6x8 will last longer. Untreated lumber will rot out in a few years especially if you box in actually touching the ground
This was such a good video. Thanks! #Michiganders
I need an update of this
My mom helped Mel right this book!! We love Square foot gardening.
How much the project in total going to cost? It’s cheaper than paying a ready setup?!
