Byron- You may have a good point Byron. My own sqft beds have not suffered
from humidity or bugs infesting the veggies but I live in Alberta where it is
not normally humid.
On your other point I would suggest that crowding plants is not the
point of sqfting. Time-saving of back-breaking work is the main
point in sqfting. If I may, I would like to point out a few of the
benefits of an easy to use time-saving system:
Sqfting uses small beds because they are quick and easy to prepare.
Sqfter's plant in one-foot squares instead of rows becuase rows are a
inefficient use of space.
Sqfting plants one seed per hole with no labor intensive-thinning needed
later in the year.
Sqfting beds are easy to keep completely free of weeds because they are
small and easy to reach from every side.
Sqft soil is always soft and high in soil-air because we never walk on the
soil.
Sqfter's replant harvested spaces (one-foot squares) quickly and easily
during the growing season, with soil amendment part of the replanting
process.
Hope this helps explain modern sqfting,
bill missen.
