We'll just have to eat ourselves some "microgreens."<br /><br />For those of you coming to this page from a search engine, let me mention that I ended up getting tapped to write <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Idiots-Guide-Aquaponic-Gardening/dp/1615642358" rel="nofollow">The Complete Idiot's Guide to Aquaponic Gardening</a> for Penguin Book Group. The book is now available for purchase at Amazon.com. It includes lots of DIY plans as well as everything I wished I could have found in a book back when I was starting out (which wasn't very long ago...). So far the reviews are good!<br /><br />The book has a chapter on growing vegetables, which includes the square foot gardening spacing for all the vegetables discussed (several for each part of the growing season, from cold weather to hot (e.g., hardy to tender). There are also plans for making your own 3x5 grow bed from lumber and plywood (and liner), which is a perfect grow bed size for doing square foot gardening. Once I get up the gumption to renovate my garden, I'm going with square foot gardening-sized grow beds instead of the Rubbermaid stock tank beds, which may allow me to increase my growing area by a factor of two!Meg Stouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01620672313029212529noreply@blogger.com
