Hi…thanks for the great video. I had a question about the size of the raised bed…those Texas Tomato Cages are 20″ in diameter….multiply that by 2 and you’ve got 40 of your 48″ in width…there seems to be a lot more than a few inches inbetween the first two tomato cages…I’m just a little confused at that?

Glad you found your niche with tomatoes, but don’t disrespect somebody that took the time to make a video so you can learn something new. If you have something mean to say don’t say it, instead ask questions. Make your own video if you think you know more.

Hi John I see you’re using irrigation tubing to water your plants. Have you ever seen the Garden Grid by Garden In Minutes? It’s similar but makes square foot sections as opposed to rows. I just got one of their kits and was wondering what you thought. Thanks!

How much did you pay for the cages?

I thought the video was great for a new gardener,like my daughter-gives her plenty of info and saves me from explaining! As a seasoned ‘tom grower’ I watched the whole vid and found it contained all info she would need to be successful and passed it on to her. I enoyed both the ‘repeats’ and the ‘rambling’!

I believe you have a lot of good info to offer…but you spent the first 8 minutes repeating yourself and generally talking about nothing.

Informative but title could have been better. Garden bloggers at Blooming Blogs have there own Square foot gardening group.

What a fucking waste of time. Misleading title save yourself 12 minutes and walk away if you can read this.

I will grow in a community garden with 4×16 plot (s) and plant to grow a lot of heirloom tomatoes and lot of peppers along with other companion veggies as well. I am working on the plan right now. I plan to grow 2 rows of tomato 24″ apart each plant, and 2 rows of peppers 24″ apart for each plant in square foot garden schema. Each rows will be 12″ apart. Do you think it is too crowded? I will use string to train my tomatoes to climb vertically (same with beans, cucumbers).

Yeah, how about changing the title to planting 11 tomatoes in a 4×11 foot raised bed instead of “a square foot” raised bed. Thumbs down.
