Wow! Spring has been skipped once again this year. It went from freezing temperatures to sweltering, seemingly over night. It did this last year and we had record high temperatures in June! I’m already having to water my gardens every day and I don’t like it! I am a lazy gardener, that’s why I Square [...]
It’s here! It’s here! Mel’s Mix has finally arrived! Who wants some? Cost is $18/2 cu. ft. bag (takes 4 to fill a 4×4 box). I’m offering a $2/bag discount on all prepaid orders, but I need to invoice you via email. I can only take credit cards this way. If not prepaid, I can [...]
If the truck arrives on time, I will be at the warehouse to distribute bags of Mel’s Mix for your Square Foot Garden from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. The address is 1033 Brentnel Ave., Columbus, Suite 500. The sign at the loading dock says “Tech Disposal.” If you want to pay with a credit card, [...]
I am NOT a programmer, so my uneducated efforts at adding a shopping cart is not working out so well. So, if you are interested in ordering Mel’s Mix at the prepaid discount ($15.99 instead of $17.99 per bag) send me an email and I will send you an invoice via email. Each bag is [...]
I’ve been told that the truckload of Mel’s Mix is on its way to Ohio and should arrive by Friday, Monday at the latest. I am offering $2.00 off per bag on all pre-paid orders. The shopping cart is not up yet, but I can send you a Pay-Pal invoice, just drop me an email [...]
Wow! Time does fly! Here it is the middle of April and maybe, just maybe, Spring is finally here to stay. My rhubarb is up and just today I saw little sprouts of asparagus poking up through the soil. I really didn’t think my asparagus survived the winter, so I am thrilled! I just started [...]
Hello all! I’m in Hawaii with the Square Foot Gardening Foundation helping Mel with a 3-day Certified Teacher training. Not much time to enjoy the views, but we’re having a great time! This could be the start of a whole series of training around the Pacific Rim. We are going to show people how to [...]
I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately about how to mix the perfect soil for your garden. As you know, in Square Foot Gardening we call it “Mel’s Mix.” Seeing as how the truck of the commercially bagged Mel’s Mix has been delayed, people want to get started, so here are some ideas. In [...]
Right now I am in the beautiful town of Fayetteville, Arkansas to help Mel teach some workshops and to learn about the new composite lumber garden boxes. I wish I had more time to explore the town and learn about the city’s and residents’ commitment to living green. Maybe I’ll make a trip here specifically [...]
Wow! The winter is passing quickly. It doesn’t seem like it when I look out the window and see a good 12 inches of now on the ground – very unusual for this part of Ohio! It got down to -7 overnight. Brrrr!!! But Square Foot Gardening classes are starting this week. Friday I’m speaking [...]
