Some of you already know about "square foot gardening." Developed primarily by Mel Bartholomew in the 1980s and perhaps even more useful today than ever, square foot gardening is based on the concept of planting and growing only as much as you'll actually eat. It is a well-developed system that seems to have thoroughly covered its bases. I've slowly but surely been introducing its precepts into my own gardening experiments.
Wired gives us a pretty nice overview of the concepts of square foot gardening here. But it's easy to find more information about it online, and I really recommend Bartholomew's book. If you're interested in doing a little bit of gardening yourself, even if you live in an apartment or condo, consider reading up on square foot gardening. It's a really straight-forward and easy method that produces happy gardeners!
