Hi! I'm glad to have found this group. I have done minor gardening in
the past. The few years, I had very small vegetable gardens. Since
moving, I have embarked on a large garden project. We just put up: a
small greenhouse (6' x 8'); three 4' x 10' raised beds, one is 10" deep,
two are 8" deep; two 4' x 8' raised beds 10" deep. I'm using the grid
method for Square Foot Gardening. The pathways are gravel as is in
front of the greenhouse. I have a small hardening off bed along the
outside wall of the greenhouse. I have three of the five beds partially
planted, one bed fully planted, and one to fill and plant. I still have
trellises to build.

I have a couple questions. The grid for the SFG method seemed to help
the planning and planting of the beds. However, I am wondering how
practical this grid will be when the vegetables are growing well. Has
anyone used this method? If so, would you mind posting a few tips? I
found an idea for cascading strawberries using three pots in a magazine.
The author indicated that slugs would not be a problem. I
transplanted my strawberries into one raised bed and half barrow. I'm
wondering if slugs will be a problem in the raised beds?
