   For anyone interested in getting into gardening, I highly recommend Mel Bartholomew's 'Square Foot Gardening'.

   It's a great resource for starting a garden in general and I've had great success and fun with his specific technique.

   Mel Bartholomew is the author of the version I have, but it looks like "Square Foot Gardening Foundation" took over after he died.
