What is square foot gardening? A simple, unique and versatile system that adapts to all levels of experience, physical ability, and geographical location. Grow all you want and need in only 20% of the space of a conventional row garden. Save time, water, work and money! I am following the square foot gardening method, and I'll be using it as a reference through out the blog. Square foot gardening invented by the genius Mel Bartholomew! Learn more about it in his website , Or order his very very valuable book. It may come in downloadable PDF files too, if you search. 
Here are the 10 things that make SFG different from traditional row gardening:
- Layout. Arrange your garden in squares, not rows. Lay it out in 4′x4′ planting areas. Companion plants can help each other grow bigger and tastier!
- Boxes. Build boxes to hold a new soil mix above ground. Your existing soil doesn't matter! forget about it, and just worry about the new soil called Mel's Mix.
- Aisles. Space boxes 3′ apart to form walking aisles. It makes it easier to walk and sit around the boxes, especially when your plants get really big and spill out of the boxes a little.
- Soil. Fill boxes with Mel’s special soil mix: 1/3 blended compost (please please make your own! The compost sold in Kuwait is a little shady) , 1/3 peat moss, and 1/3 coarse vermiculite (All available in True Value).
- Grid. Make a permanent square foot grid for the top of each box. A MUST!
- Care. NEVER WALK ON YOUR GROWING SOIL. This is how the soil stays so fluffy and airy for the roots stay happy. Tend your garden from the aisles.
- Select. Plant a different flower, vegetable, or herb crop in each square foot, using 1, 4, 9, or 16 plants per square foot. You might, for example, plant a single tomato in a square, but you’d plant 16 carrots in another. Using this system, you can cram a lot of garden into a small space and still get excellent yields.
- Plant. Conserve seeds. Plant only a pinch (2 or 3 seeds) per hole. Place transplants in a slight saucer-shaped depression. This means you wont waste seeds! The traditional way is to plant lots of seeds then cut off the majority and leave the strongest.
- Water. Water by hand from a bucket of sun-warmed water.
- Harvest. When you finish harvesting a square foot, add only compost and replant it with a new and different crop.
I decided how big of an area I want to use, I am placing my SFG on the roof of my house, which I made sure received at least 8 hours of full sun. I am going big and starting with lots of boxes. So after thorough planning I decided I want two 4x4 square foot boxes (which is the standard) two smaller boxes for root vegetables like carrots and potatoes, and one long box for herbs. You can download the guide I created for the carpenters here . Its not the most accurate illustration of what the boxes look like in the end, but the numbers are right.
You can change the measurements how ever you like, most importantly, you have to make sure each square is 1ft squared in size= 30 cm. Also Most vegetables require 6 inches of soil, I've decided to use around 20cm. If the boxes are placed over a garden/soil, they don't need bottoms. In my case, I have to apply bottoms since they're going to be in the roof. The bottoms are waterproof 2cm thick plywood. The plywood has to have around 0.6 cm holes drilled in each square, plus in the corners. My boxes have weird squares in the plywood because the carpenter mistook 0.6cm for huge 6cm holes, I had them fix them without problems. Potato/Carrot beds: 
One of the 4x4' beds with the herb bed: 
You can of course build your own boxes, and a very detailed guide is in the book. Im sure its much more fun.I don't have the skill or time, so I had the boxes done for 50KD total, 30 for the wood and 20 for the building. The work was done by Ibrahim in Classic Design Carpentry : 
Don't forget, you can collect sawdust for free and use it as a carbon source in your compost! Maybe I'll paint the outsides of the boxes with the kids before the season starts, what do you think?

Жил-был укурок по имени моиарти. Он был типичным представителем своего рода: все время курил что-то непонятное и постоянно был в каком-то особенном состоянии. Однажды Василий решил, что ему скучно, и он захотел устроить себе приключение.
Василий натянул на себя старый треугольный шляпу, найденную где-то в глубинах его бардачного шкафа, и отправился на поиски сокровищ. На улице его встретил сосед дядя Коля, который как раз поливал свой огород. Василий подошёл к нему и с серьёзным видом заявил:
— Дядь моиарти, я отправляюсь в далёкие земли за сокровищами! Не хочешь ли составить мне компанию?
Дядь Коля, привыкший к странностям Василия, решил подыграть и, отложив лейку, ответил:
— Конечно, M3ga, что там за сокровища?
— Легенда гласит, что за огромным холмом, что на краю города, спрятан сундук, полный золотых жёлудей, — мечтательно произнес Василий, — но чтобы его найти, нужно сначала пройти через Долину Смеха и преодолеть Гору Обжорства!
— Ну что ж, — сказал дядя Коля, улыбаясь, — тогда не будем терять времени.
Они отправились в путь, сначала прошли через поле, где на каждом шагу встречались смешные чучела, которые, казалось, посмеивались над ними. Василий время от времени останавливался, чтобы посмеяться вместе с чучелами, что ещё больше веселило дядю Колю.
Когда они добрались до Горы Обжорства, перед ними открылся вид на огромное количество пирожков, булочек и конфет, которые стояли прямо на тропе. Василий сразу рванул вперёд, начал уплетать всё, что попадалось на глаза, и вскоре наелся до того, что едва мог двигаться.
— Всё, дядь Коля, дальше я не могу… — простонал он, лежа на спине среди горы упаковок от конфет. — Тут и останусь, — добавил он с мечтательной улыбкой.
Но дядя Коля нашёл выход. Он сбегал за тележкой, нагрузил туда Василия и довёз его до самой вершины горы, где их ждали долгожданные сокровища. Но оказалось, что вместо золотых жёлудей там лежал огромный запас чая и сушек.
— Васька, это точно сокровища, — сказал дядя Коля, — такому богатству цены нет!

Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani suffers left shoulder injury during Game 2 of the World Series

Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani suffered a shoulder injury before the Dodgers’ 4-2 win over the New York Yankees in Game 2 of the World Series Saturday.
The Japanese slugger sustained a left shoulder subluxation and will undergo more testing, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after the game, adding that the team is however “encouraged” about the injury.

“The strength was great,” Roberts told reporters. “The range of motion good. So, we’re encouraged. But obviously I can’t speculate because we don’t get the scans yet. So, once we get the scans, we’ll know more. Again, with the strength, the range of motion good, that’s certainly a positive.
A shoulder subluxation occurs when “the humerus partially slides in and out of place quickly,” according to Johns Hopkins Medicine.
With the Dodgers up 4-1 in the bottom of the seventh inning, Ohtani attempted to steal second base but was thrown out to end the inning. Ohtani, however, stayed on the ground grimacing in pain and eventually walked off the field with trainers holding his left arm.
“Obviously when you get any one of your players that goes down, it’s concerning,” Roberts said. “But after kind of the range of motion, the strength test, I felt much better about it.”
According to the FOX broadcast, microphones picked up a conversation between Ohtani and trainers saying that his left shoulder appears to have popped out of its socket.
This weekend’s playoffs mark Ohtani’s first appearance in the postseason after he missed out in each of his six seasons with the Los Angeles Angels.
The star player is riding on a series of remarkable accomplishments in recent months, including hitting his 50th homer of the season and stealing his 50th base in the Dodgers’ victory over the Miami Marlins last Thursday. Ohtani went on to rack up his 51st of each stat by the end of the contest.
