Square Foot Vegetable Gardening - Part two

How to plant your own urban garden using the Quickcrop Square Foot Vegetable Gardening method. Square foot gardening is all about taking advantage of smaller spaces and raised garden beds to maximise your crop output. This is typically done by dividing the raised bed into square sections 12 inches per side using gardening twine or timber laths to achieve a grid system. The aim is to assist beginner vegetable gardeners and also help create the highest yielding garden possible.

Was looking for a decent raised bed instructional video and this was much better than I could have hoped for.

[@dannybennett9850]

This is the best video that i have found on KZbin regarding vegetable gardening for beginners. Thank you for the great advice :)

This video is brilliant. I have just taken on an allotment in London and I have raised beds as I am a wheelchair user. I will most definitely be using the square foot gardening system for my planting from now on. Best video ive sen yet. Believe me when I say I have watched quite a few! Thank you so much for this 🌱🍃🌻🌺↗️🍆🥔🥕

[@Quickcrop]

Thats great Anne, thanks for the feedback. Square Foot Gardening is a great idea, especially if you have limited space or restricted mobility.

[@lizshabani]

I need you in my garden 😊 New gardner here and am going crazy, so overwelmed. You make it look soo easy. Hope everything turns ok on my side 😏

[@Quickcrop]

Take it easy at the beginning, planting only what you need. As you build confidence expand your garden over the following years.

[@Wazoo123MC]

I'm now starting off my garden and before I get my parent's permission to create a proper S.F.G but first I need sort of a proof of concept. I have a square foot pot and need to grow carrots will it be advisable to sow 16 in the pot? I'm in the tropics so I'm not quite sure how well it'll turn out so I want to try my best for them to work. Thanks in advanced for you input.

[@Quickcrop]

+Wazoo123 Hi Wazoo. Sorry for the late reply. You should be fine with 16 carrots in a square foot for baby carrots but if you want larger version you could put in 9 instead. Remember when growing in pots that you need to keep the compost evenly moist (a bit like your other question about potatoes), in the case of carrots if you let them dry out and then water them they are likely to split especially when you are approaching harvest time. I hope this helps, good luck and thanks for watching! Andrew

[@Wazoo123MC]

Thank you so much I really appreciate it.

[@Li.....ssaaaa]

thanks for the video. lots of great info! I see your garden beds are combined into a large raised bed garden. For the higher ones on the back, do you have to fill it with more soil? Or do you just build it so it stands a bit taller?

[@theuglykwan]

If you don't need the extra height you could fill it with gravel or stones. I've seen people put in cardboard or random containers!

[@Quickcrop]

We tend to fill the taller beds with extra soil, perfect for growing longer root crops.

[@johnbradbury1337]

I was just looking at your raised beds and I can’t see this design on your website?

[@Quickcrop]

Hi, It was built using a combination of our raised bed kits. www.quickcrop.co.uk/raised-beds

[@maryellis3661]

I see you taking the plug plants out off the plug trays with ease evey time i take mine out the rooty ball falls apart or wont come out in one peice like yours what am i doing wrong?

[@Quickcrop]

+Mary Ellis It may helps to gently push the root and soil out from the bottom of the plug, or tease it out from the top with a teaspoon.

[@maryellis3661]

yours come out so easy :(

[@theuglykwan]

I always end up destroying mine. lol He makes it look so easy. Maybe i need to firm the soil into the modules before sewing so they don't crumble so easily.

[@Apollinez]

J'adore pouvais vous donner les mesures de vos carrés potager svp

[@Quickcrop]

Salut Marcela, tous les carrés mesure 300mm x 300mm.

[@craigbirchall6475]

[@Quickcrop]

Which numbers?

[@1englishfunzone]

The SFG tab is gone.

[@Quickcrop]

Which SFG tab are you referring to?

[@1englishfunzone]

@@Quickcrop 8:25 in the video. There is a S.F.G. tab. I don't see it on the website.

[@Quickcrop]

We don't have any tabs.

[@1englishfunzone]

wheres part 3?

[@Quickcrop]

+Mary Ellis Hi Mary - sorry for delay in answering that question - its just been so busy here with spring upon us all. Part 3 is due to be done later this year during the natural cycle when the various plants are harvested. Last year, we had hoped to do it but the weather made it difficult to film anything at the "right time" when the plants were to be harvested etc in full bloom. At that time - it rained so much we could not use the camera. Thanks for taking time to ask. Any suggestions for videos will considered.

[@maryellis3661]

thats good im looking forward to seeing it have yous any tips on growing onions i put in over wintering onion sets and the stems grew but the bulbs have all stayed small i dont know what i did wrong
