so it's not fair to count that as experience.I'm a computer geek and an information sponge, so my strategy was to get a couple of good books, find a good online forum for advice and try to develop a few local resources as well. The Square Foot Gardening method was one book recommended to me and with my somewhat limited space and lack of experience, that seems like a good way to start. Make a few beds that I can manage and learn with and expand when I gain experience. Is this a decent approach?
I am also looking for some basic book recommendations so I can start out with a solid knowledge base and not ask so many stupid questions.
Any other advice on how to start a successful garden in my first year are all appreciated.Hopefully I can learn and manage to contribute something positive to the forum. Thanks in advance for helping a newbie.
) on regional, state, or even local growing conditions. In the west, we have the Sunset Western Garden Book. In 1997, Sunset published the National Garden Book, but they've never updated it, so...ask the librarian or the staff at a local independent garden-supply store for recommendations.
