Where to put my square foot garden?

JoKay_2

I'm planning to have a 4ft by 4ft raised bed built in my garden this year, so that I can have a go at square foot gardening.

However, I'm not sure where in my garden it should go...

My garden is north facing and surrounded by 6ft fencing - would it be best to put it on the south facing back fence (but that's the furthest away from the house) or would the east or west facing fences be better?

As you can see, I'm a gardening novice!!

Depends what you want to grow, normally full sun is best although it may involve more watering. Failing that west is best

Yep, south facing will give far more options for planting. Hardly any veg do well in shade.
