Was just looking at All New Square Foot Gardening: Grow More in Less
Space by Mel Bartholomew. They sure have some nice pics of Mel, standing
among raised gardens. He says he likes to sell, excuse me, teach to new
gardeners who aren't weighed down by prior knowledge, like the need to
renew the soils nitrogen, uh huh.

Anyone tempted to buy Mel's book would do well to look at "How to Grow
More Vegetables" by John Jeavons
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b/...=search-alias%
3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=How+to+Grow+More+Vegetables&x=0&y=0
first.

There is more practicle information and no necessity of laying out a
physical grid. There are no pictures of John, IIRC, but the book is
information dense. Unfortunately, he doesn't address lasagna gardening,
but then neither does Mel. Check it out at better libraries near you.
I'm sorry, but Mel looks really lame.
