Raised bed gardens/sq ft gardens

Raised bed gardens are nothing new. They are a good way to bypass soil problems.

I recently learned of a new concept: square foot gardens. It's a basic raised bed garden divided into foot squares. One may plant a certain number of vegetables, herbs, or fruit in each square.

There's a good website to help gardeners plan and research their garden from Gardener's Supply Kitchen Garden Planner. For example:

 It tells you how many of each plant one can fit in each square automatically. After this stage, it generates a page giving more details on how to plant each selection:

So cool.

Oh and the best thing ever: a salsa garden!
