I, too, use the square foot gardening, however I have not perfected
the ‘art’ of the method yet. As far as kids tearing up the house, I
have to ask whose kids they are and what type of discipline is used
because I think the time spent on good discipline is far less of a
bother then the purchasing of unhealthy food. We also grow a garden
much bigger than our family needs in order to help out other people in
our community. My 4 year old picks the produce and my 1 year old
takes it in the house for processing. I weed and my husband waters.
Things don’t always look pretty in our garden, but like I said we have
not perfected the system…yet! :o)
