Update with Pictures - Square Foot Gardening

Looking back at my first experiences with gardening, I never thought so much could be grown in such a small place. Thanks to all the people who are sharing their experiences and tips, otherwise it would take sometime atleast 7-8 years for a newbie with no prior gardening knowledge to achieve what you see in the pictures. All the knowledge about preparing the soil, spacing the plants, when to grow what, how much to grow, deciding which plants to grow together, how to enhance soil microbiology, compost tea is available at the fingertips.

This is how I started in mid May



This is where we are today for the second harvest. (First harvest for Broccoli, Spinach, Radishes, Coriander, Carrots, Basil was back in June)
