I love the idea of teaching your kids the value of the food they eat. There's nothing like home grown veggies. This is a great idea!

I go to my local wine shop and ask for the wooden wine boxes (usually French and Italian, sometimes California) and fill them with compost or bagged potting soil and voilà, square foot gardening in chic wine boxes without lifting a hammer! I think they look great and are very functional. They last a couple of seasons and then I go get some more boxes :) How’s this for cheating?

Not only was it very productive, but maintenance was VERY manageable. I'm sure you'll be delighted with the results! I built 2 4×4 sq ft gardens several years ago as a test.

I use it in High Density Gardening and find that I can grow crops at high density in a small mini plot. I will put 36 radishes in a 12 inch square plot and find that most of them grow. I have also grown carrots at this density, great for mini veg, but grow with 20 in a mini plot for larger carrots. Great fun so just do it.
