Excellent Choice A excellent choice. Cubed foot gardening takes Square foot to an other level. An excellant companion book.
More new ideas in Raised Intensive Bed Gardening As someone who cut my gardening "teeth" with Mel Bartholomew's "Square Foot Gardening", I was interested in what differing suggestions Chris Bird's Cubed Foot Gardening would impart. What was he talking about? Cubed foot? 3' by 3'? NOT. 1' x 1' x 1' deep. I was using raised beds, even with the square foot method...but now I learn that my 2 x 8 boxes aren't nearly tall enough for plants with deep root systems. Next year, I'll add another level of depth to the boxes to at least 2 x 12, if not 2 x 16. I've grown the verticle pumpkins and cantilope. It DOES work. I found Mr. Bird's spacing suggestions a bit more realistic, and he's included several hilarious comments. A great supplement to "Square Foot Gardening".
Great Ideas Last year I used the Cubed Foot Gardening method in my "regular" garden for my corn and it worked GREAT! My next door neighbor lost ALL her corn, but mine survived and thrived. My husband LOVES Silver Queen corn and I happily provided him with fresh-from-the-stalk corn when he came back from Iraq. ^M
