Square foot gardening

Author: Having a chat to one of the girls today at work, and it has really galvanised me to try Square Foot Gardening when we move to the lake.
We have been having huge amounts of rain here in Sydney over the last few days, but it is too close to the coast and is not getting inland where the farms and dams are. I relaly want to get a water tank installed in our hose to catch rain water for use ont he garden. I recon if everyone grew some of their own veggies off the rainwater that falls on their roofs, then the harbour would not be so contaminated with rainwater runoff, and we would not be so reliant on the farms over the mountains. Vegetable prices are soaring, and I’m sure at some stage it make it hard for some poorer families to afford good and beneficial food for their families.
If I can grow extra food in my garden, maybe I can give it to some poor people who might otherwise just poison themselves with stuff like pasta and bread!
