Square Foot Gardening

So Shane and I decided that we wanted to have a vegetable garden this year. We picked a corner and Shane dug up all of the sod...and the very next day my sister Mary Jane told me all about square foot gardening. I was sold. You make boxes and fill them with a special blend of 1/3 compost, 1/3 vermiculite, and 1/3 peat moss. They only need to be 6" deep, and then you divide the box using a grid. It's an easy way to organize all of the garden yummies you want to plant. Today Shane put all the sod back...because you don't need to tear up your lawn, you can just put the box on you lawn. And you don't need a huge garden to get a lot of vegetables. I feel really bad Shane went to all that work because I changed my mind...isn't he the best?
