I love Square Foot Gardening. Once you try it you'll never go back to any other way. I live in a townhouse now with a small fenced backyard. I'll be doing Square Foot this year - some in the yard and some on my patio. I'm also going to try MaryJane's filebox garden.
The BF did the first one and he laid them out on the ground, nailed them together (with small nails) where they intersect, then tapped them gently into the frame after he had them assembled.
*I* was left to finish the job and had the brilliant idea that I would just nail them to the box where I wanted them and not bother with nailing the strips to each other. That did not work so well, as I split the heck out of the first one I tried. Don't know if it's my nailing technique or what. Would recommend the first method, on your garage floor maybe.
I think I am going to make some lattice via similar method and climb some posies up the wall. Thought about just tacking up some of the garden netting but decided that might actually look worse. This is my neighbor's wall (he rents) and not a particularly attractive spot.
