Setting up a square-foot garden

MCG is looking at a modified square-foot garden approach for the plots. Each plot will be 4-foot by 12-foot, with four feet of path space between each plot.

Because square-foot gardening is so established as a method, it is an easy approach for beginning gardeners to adopt -- a large issue in a community garden. It is also an attractive garden to look at from the road, which is another issue for community gardens.

Here's a resource on how to prepare raised beds for your garden plot from the web site Journey to Forever.
