I am reading very interesting account of a beginner starting vegetable gardening with Square Foot gardening method in Srilanka. I was particularly interested in knowing how Mel's mix was prepared, since these ingredients (Vermiculite, Peat Moss and Compost) might not be readily available in some countries.
And amazingly it says people have figured it out that Peat Moss can be replaced by the dust that holds coconut fibre together! Vermiculite was available that the pool supplies store. Thus, SFG can be practiced in all of south east Asian countries (India, Thailand, Indonesia, China, etc.) and other coastal areas with local ingredients. Here is my account of setting up SFG in Switzerland.
Here is picture account of assembling and setting up the SFG.
After 3 weeks.
I will be following this log.
