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

I spend about 10 minutes in my garden each night when I get home from
work.  Since my garden is fairly small, 5' x about 17', this is usually
enough time.  On the weekend, I sometimes spend 30 minutes to an hour;
but I end up looking for things to do in my garden, like cleaning off my
brick path or inspecting my plants.

I love mulch, because it keeps my weeds to a minimum.
