I've been using square foot gardening methods for years and have gotten great results, but the idea of a self-feeding garden is really appealing. There's so much soil loss happening around the world that helping to create it should be every gardener's goal.

The idea of it being fed from the under side is pretty cool! And it should keep the weeds to a minimum.

I have always been a strong proponent of mulching. My very first garden had an extreme thistle problem and the soil was hard and oviously lacking nutrients so I was mulching with thick layers of newspaper, cut grass and leaves. It worked very well. A farmer would come in the spring with his tractor mounted tiller and he would till it to a depth of a foot and I would start all over again.

I can't wait to see how your garden grows!
