The document describes a method for small-scale farming called square foot gardening (SFG). It involves digging a 4.1 square meter area of land 2 feet deep and mixing the soil with equal parts manure. This mixture is allowed to decompose for 6 weeks before being divided into four beds with boards. Moringa is then sown and harvested after 60 days, with mulching and protection from animals. This process results in 90 kilograms of fresh produce after three harvests from the small space.

Principle behind SFG
Measure an area of land 4.1 m2 to recondition the
soil in the measured area by digging 2 ft deep and mixing the soil with equal proportion of manure and filling it back into the pit. Water thoroughly and allow the resulting mixture to decompose for six weeks Divide the pot into four beds by crossing a piece of board Sow your moringa and harvest after 60 days of growth
