Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I have been sq. ft gardening for 10+ years now and have gotten pretty good
at planting one seed per hole with fresh seed.  As each year passes I
plant additional seed in each hole as I expect germination to be less as
the seed gets older.  [If seed is fresh/plant 1, 2 yr. old / plant 2 or 3,
3 or more year old / plant 3 -5 depending on the plant.]  Deany, zone
4-Green Bay area
