Square Foot Gardening:

The practice of planning and creating small but heavily planted gardens utilizing one square foot per plant selection.

Perfect for use with raised garden beds, best sizes are a 4ft X 4ft or a 6ft X 6ft or a 8ft X 8ft.

All plants you use will be given a 1 square foot per plant selection.

If you have a small planting area, utilize the vertical space with trellis.

(The picture shows how many of each veggie or fruit can be planted per square foot

Great project to experiment/learn how to build with .

What you need:
1. horizontal wood chamber at the bottom, with a screen placed 1/2 way up. The idea is the wood sits on the screen and allows air to flow below your fire. Then you can just feed sticks in as you need more fuel. (This is the small bottom arch in the photo.)

2. Then you need a vertical chimney flue that is at least 3x its diameter. Taller is better (encourages the fire to get hotter).

3. Add your grilling surface at the top.

The extra oxygen at the bottom and the height of the flue allow for a very very hot fire. Since you get more heat out of each piece of wood, you can cook with just a few twigs. (We've cooked whole meals with just 12 twigs!)

Bonus: all of the materials except the grill itself are free. The clay is soil from the ground with some added straw.
