Square Foot Gardening

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:

  1. 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!
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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).
  5. Grid. Make a permanent square foot grid for the top of each box. A MUST!
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Water. Water by hand from a bucket of sun-warmed water.
  10. Harvest. When you finish harvesting a square foot, add only compost and replant it with a new and different crop.
Here's how Im starting my square foot garden : 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?

Каждому новичку крайне важно систематически упражняться на гитаре. Для этого в сети интернет созданы тематические ресурсы с аккордами и табами для гитары. Стоит вбить в поиск Яндекса поисковый запрос типа Чудак аккорды и бой — обязательно найдётся то, что поможет вам обучиться игре на гитаре.

현실은… 대부분의 남자들, 심지어 알파들도 여자를 진정으로 기쁘게 하는 방법을 모릅니다. 섹스는 여자의 마음에서 시작되고 끝납니다. 그것이 그녀의 음란한 욕망에 젖게 만드는 것입니다. 그리고 여성의 마음으로 통하는 문은 지배와 통제입니다. 침실에서 지배와 통제를 효과적으로 사용하는 방법을 아는 사람은 거의 없습니다. 그들은 일부 펀 사이트에서 볼 수 있는 것을 시도하고 역효과를 내고 "그건 작동하지 않는다"고 생각합니다. 물론 작동하지 않습니다. 퍼른은 교육이 아니라 오락이기 때문입니다. 남자들이 고심하는 것은 "변태"로 보이지 않고 그것을 관계에 도입하는 방법입니다. 지배는 변태가 아니지만 그럴 수 있습니다. 가볍든 무겁든 지배는 여성이 은밀히 갈망하는 것입니다. 그녀는 통제되고 싶어하고… 리드하고… 억제되고… 언제 무엇을 해야 하는지 지시받았습니다. 그것은 그녀가 남자의 성적인 힘에 복종하는 최고의 여성적 자아에 있을 때입니다. 당신이 침실에서 이 일을 하지 않는다면, 그녀는 남아 있습니다당신의 8인치 c*ck가 착암기처럼 그녀를 때리더라도. 그래서 아담 암스트롱의 책에서 섹스 코치를 받도록 권하는 것입니다. 그것은 여성에게만 허용되는 것이 아니라 DEEPLY DESIRED 방식으로 관계에 지배를 도입하는 방법을 남성에게 보여줍니다. 첫날 밤부터 여자는 변화를 알아차리고 남자로서의 당신의 권위에 굴복할 것입니다. 당신은 관계의 고삐를 잡습니다. 그녀가 아니라 모든 것이 어떻게 진행되는지 결정합니다. 다시는 그녀를. 당신이 그녀를 만지기 전에도 당신은 그녀가 절대적으로 중독될 방식으로 그녀를 염두에 두는 방법을 알고 있습니다. 나는 그것이 이상하게 들린다는 것을 압니다. 당신이나 내가 지배당한다면, 우리는 아주 작은 힌트에도 세게 반발할 것입니다. 그러나 그것이 여성을 다르게 만드는 것입니다. 그들은 지배받기를 원합니다. 이제 21세기 여성은 생각에 곤두박질치겠지만, 올바른 남자의 유능한 손에는? 그녀는 기꺼이 그에게 양보할 것입니다. 그녀는 그녀의 여성적인 영혼을 그의소유. 그리고 그것은 그녀의 팬티를 생각만 해도 젖게 만들 것입니다. 그것이 Adam Armstrong의 책이 당신과 당신의 여성을 위해 할 일입니다. -> 침실 보스가 되기에 화끈함-그녀의 머리를 깨는 69가지 방법. 알파프라이멀 http://daechu-dang.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=free&wr_id=33547 다운로드 침실 보스 섹스 가이드
