Square Foot Gardening and Companion Planting: 2 books in 1

“In times of economic hardship our best resources are the ones under our direct control, this is an evergreen cornerstone of any self-sufficiency theory. When facing uncertainty we must hang on to certainties
Coping with hardship times, though, was not the main reason I started my path of self-sufficiency. What I was looking for was something we often talk about, sometimes dream about, but rarely act to get: I'm talking about Freedom.
Freedom and gratification, that's what made me start. Two things that, think about it, go frequently together.
Applied to gardening that was freedom from the supply chain and gratification from my own work's outcomes”.
These are the words of Chauncey Cruz Jr. introducing his probably most known and beloved book, Square Foot Gardening.
In this bundle edition, along with Square Foot Gardening, you get an equally precious book that in some way completes it. Right, because while with a square foot garden you get the most out of your space thanks to a series of one square foot areas (hence the name) that flank different crops, companion planting is the the art and science of placing alongside plants that benefit from each other's presence (and of keeping away those that negatively affect each other).
In Square Foot Gardening and Companion Planting you will discover:
