The First-Time Gardener – Raised Bed Gardening

Offert en anglais seulement

Setting up your first raised-bed garden? With help from YouTube gardening star CaliKim, you’ll soon be growing your own fresh, organic vegetables, herbs and flowers like a pro.

Whether your yard is big or small, raised beds are the perfect fit. They allow you to create a controlled growing environment, filled with fertile soil, where plants thrive. Raised beds help gardeners overcome rocky or less-than-ideal soils, there’s little to no weeding involved, and they can be as large or as petite as you’d like. You can even use an elevated or mobile raised bed if the only sunny space you have to grow is on a patio, deck or driveway.

This book shows you how to select the best raised bed for your space and offers tips for staking and trellising plants to save space and improve yields. You’ll find DIY plans for building quick and simple beds, information on the best soil mixes for filling raised beds, how to mulch, water and fertilize your new garden, illustrated planting plans to help you determine how many plants fit in each bed, step-by-step project plans for unique raised bed trellising systems, advice on the best beginner-friendly crops to get you started, how to maximize production from a small raised-bed garden, and tips to get growing in a way that won’t leave you feeling overwhelmed halfway through the season.
