Plants basically need sunshine, water, soil, and maybe a little TLC to grow. Having the right soil is typically the biggest unknown for most home gardeners. Using the mix recommended by Square Foot Gardening simplifies things a lot. However, it is still good to know a little bit about what plants need and why.

This meetup will cover:
