The Square Foot Gardening Series
Since Square Foot Gardening was first introduced in 1981, the revolutionary new way to garden developed by Mel Bartholomew has helped millions of home gardeners grow more fresh produce in less space and with less work. Now, based largely on the input and experience of these millions, the system has been even further refined and improved to fully meet today's changing resources, needs, and challenges.
Don't wait another season to try Mel's brilliant approach to gardening! We're sure it will work for you and you won't look back.
Whether you grow in a Square Foot Garden, a straw bale garden, containers, or a traditional garden plot, you can approach harvest time with confidence.
End world hunger.'
That’s the mission of the Square Foot Gardening Foundation, articulated by Mel Bartholomew, the inventor of Square Foot Gardening and founder of the Square Foot Gardening Foundation. It’s a tall order, but one we’re already tackling, one square foot at a time.
As the Foundation enters our third decade in operation, we’re continuing to spread Mel’s original message of growing more food in less space with less waste (of time, materials, and money). Here’s how we’re doing it, at home and abroad, and how you can join us!
HOW TO BUILD A CLASSIC SQUARE FOOT GARDEN TRELLIS
Mel developed the classic trellis for a 4 × 4-foot Square Foot Garden box after years of experimentation, and it remains perhaps the best way for supporting vertical crops—ridiculously simple, easy, and inexpensive. For the vertical supports, ordinary electrical conduit has proven to be an inexpensive and very sturdy material to use. It never rots away, and it is strong enough to bear up under the winds that can buffet a trellis once it is filled with growing vines.
HOW TO BUILD A SIMPLE WIRE COMPOSTER
A compost bin can be an elaborate affair with wooden sides made of high-quality cedar or redwood, but you can create a perfectly serviceable composter from five metal fencing posts, a piece of 4-foot-wide weldedmetal fencing about 8 to 10 feet long, and a dozen or so 1 × 4 pine boards. With this composter, it’s very easy to add materials and turn your compost regularly. This design is from Joel Karsten, author of Straw Bale Gardens Complete.
HOW TO CREATE MEL’S MIX
You’re getting close now. Your Square Foot Garden box is (or boxes are) built. And with all the math out of the way, the fun now starts as you create the actual Mel’s Mix and fill your garden box with the growing medium that will make the most productive garden you’ve ever seen. Before you get started, make sure that you know exactly where you want your Square Foot Garden boxes positioned in your yard, because once you fill them with Mel’s Mix, it will be tricky to move them around.

Retention adjustable
If the Dagger Defense BUIS does not lock into place while laying flat, the push button also doubles as a retention adjustment knob. The push button can be turned clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the locking retention in the down position.
Add light oil for best use
For better functionality, it is recommended to add a light bit of oil (not included) to the push buttons and moving parts. Work the oil in by moving the parts back and forth. Doing so, will help improve the deployment and use of the sights.
Windage adjustment
The Dagger Defense flip up BUIS uses a dial knob for windage adjustment located on the rear sight.
Allen screw installation
Lock your Dagger Defense flip up BUIS to a rail system using allen screws.

User questions & answers
Question: | These we're listed at around $8.00 a couple days ago, what happened |
Answer: | At the range, use a rifle stand or bag to hold the rifle steady. Use the larger opening on the rear sight. If shooting left, move the sight to the left using the screw on the side. If right move to the right. Use a sighting tool to move the front post up or down. Shooting high move post down, low move it up. I like using a bore laser. Same adjustments as above until laser dot is right at the top of the front sight. |
Question: | What size tool for the front sight |
Answer: | you can contact with AWOTAC directly, theie service are so nice.Solve the problem quickly. |
Question: | good for SBR 10.5inch rifle or no |
Answer: | These don’t “pop up” in the sense that you press a button and they snap up. They are manual pop ups. That is, you use your hand to flip up the sight (faster than a button in my opinion. This is why they don’t have spring adjustment screws. I like these but the wind adjustment screw is a bit rough. A bit of lube (and I mean the tiniest amount) will go a long way if you do decide to get these! |
Question: | How tall is this sight |
Answer: | The battery goes under the cap on the rotating switch. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Will these work with weaver mounts on a 50 cal muzzleloader |
Answer: | They are designed for picatinny rails, but if the weaver mounts are sufficiently far apart to give a good sight radius, these sights should be usable. |
Question: | What adjusting tool will work on front sight |
Answer: | Kind of cumbersome, but there is a little push pin on the right side of the site that you can hold down with a bullet tip to turn the sight, one click at a time. There probably is a tool to do this also, but the bullet tip will work. |
Question: | Why are they showing pictures and a video with them mounted wrong and people following suit in their reviews |
Answer: | everything about the video is off. delta ring wasn't removed before adding the quad rail which makes it look weird with no flat top... then while putting the front sight on, you can see he still has the A2 tower on, so now he has 2 front sights. those A2 towers are much higher than flip-ups, which means the front flip-up is unusable, and the sighting on the back sight to A2 tower is way off. pretty sure it's an airsoft though... the charging handle looks like plastic, and there are multiple phillips head screws in the top of the rifle. |
Question: | can i mount this to my lunchbox or would it make illeagle in california |
Answer: | 4 zillion rounds per second in a black knight rider plastic assault lunchbox thermos clipazine illeagle. 16 felonies. Many such cases. |
