Hi Paul ,I have viewed your helpful gardening tips. I want to start a garden and I wanted to sign up for your class but I didnt know if you discuss or even recommend squarefoot gardening. I have an acre of land but we back up to a cornfield that uses gmo and pesticides and I didnt know if i should sow the land or do raised beds. Do you recommend or have advice for raised bed gardening?
Thanks for your note. In the course I don’t specifically address squarefoot gardening but I do think it can be a very good method for laying out a home garden. And really, what I cover in the course can be implemented in a squarefoot garden very well. Hmmm… about the land next to you – I’d suggest putting your garden away from the GMO corn if at all possible. I do share how to make raised beds in my course and will be making a second course specifically on growing in small spaces which would include much more about raised beds. Personally – unless there is a really good reason I’d choose to sow the land itself rather than build the raised beds.
There’s just a few thoughts – I’ll email you and would be glad to help you figure out what would work best for you.
