If you have eaten a fresh garden tomato or crunched a fresh pea pod right out of the garden then you know that nothing compares to home grown vegetables. If you want to grow your own fresh garden tomatoes, lettuce, peas, herbs and more without the summer long effort of a traditional garden, then a Raised Bed Garden could be your answer.
Raised beds are perfect for growing lots of vegetables in small spaces. They’re also ideal for anyone who doesn’t want to sit or bend down to pull weeds every day. Raised beds even look better than regular gardens because you can customize the bed boxes to fit the aesthetics of your landscaping.
If all of those reasons aren’t enough consider this; you can grow more healthy vegetables with less of your own effort which means more produce will make it to your dinner table, and you’ll have more time and energy to enjoy it.
This book covers everything you need to know to create your own raised bed garden and grow your own vegetables this season. It includes:
– Garden Design tips to get the most out of your garden
– How to build your raised beds, from fancy beds to free ones
– Improving your soil to grow the healthiest plants
– What to plant
– When to plant it
– Low-maintenance tips to make weeds almost non-existent
If you are excited to put some plants in the ground and start your own garden paradise then I am excited to show you how!
Garden beds This is a great book to get started on gardening. I appreciated the references that were included. I never thought of using the farmers almanac before. I am going to look at that next.
Perfect advice! This is exactly the book I was searching for as I am getting ready to plant soon.In particular, I found the information on sunlight and composition of the soil beneficial.Living in Vermont, I am fortunate to have lots of composted cow manure nearby! My neighbors are more than willing to bring it down for my new raised bed garden.Being new to gardening, I thought the tip about the old newspapers extremely helpful. Will try that to keep the weeds down.Still have a little time to decide which items I will plant. The old Vermonters always said not to plant until after the last full moon in May!Thanks for a great book. Just perfect for a beginner like me.Highly recommended!
