Buy the Book!!!!

20 years ago

I learned about SFG from a master gardener event in my area, researched a little bit here and there, and watched a few old episodes of the PBS special. I thought I had a pretty good idea of how to plan my new SFG.

Then, I bought Mel's new SFG book, and I was astonished at the information. He not only covers the SFG method in depth, but all the gardening bases as well. I highly recommend to anyone who is just starting out with their garden, or has been using the old SFG method, get your own copy of the new book, you'll be amazed at what you'll learn, even if you think you already know it all.

I also have been doing some pretty extensive winter sowing, and this goes hand in hand with that. Now I can fit even more of my WS babies amongst my veggies.

Today, I planted peas, carrots, radishes, and kohlrabi, and transplanted a hosta into one of my Square foot gardens, with black plastic over the soil to warm it for tomatoes later on.

Mel himself said that the new book has the old system, with all the info that is on the website. He said that if you have the old book and the website, then you actually have MORE information than is in the new book- so why bother?

I think Kristal menat that for someone that doesn't have the original book, someone who is just starting out. Kristal was just saying that she learned alot from the book and would suggest it to other new gardeners. "I highly recommend to anyone who is just starting out with their garden"

There is no need to be katty!

reptilegrrl,

The point is that the new edition does contain information not in previous editions or on the web site.

Please post exactly the URL from the website what the in depth listing of the 20 recommended components for the "blended compost" recommended in the Feb. 2006 edition?

I think she is referring to the brand new book.....not the updated cover of the old book. This is brand new and for sale on Mel's website. I got it and love it.
