Square foot gardening

Square foot gardening is the practice of dividing the growing area into small square sections, typically 1 foot x 1 foot. The aim is to assist the planning and creating of a small but intensively planted vegetable garden. It results in a simple and orderly gardening system, from which it draws much of its appeal.

Mel Bartholomew coined the term "square foot gardening" in his 1981 book of the same name.
