Raised Bed Gardening 2 - Making the Most - James Paris
Welcome to Raised Bed Gardening 2
What you will find in this book.
This book can be read as a follow-on to my previous book ‘Raised Bed Gardening – Growing the easy way, or as a stand-alone work. It covers in greater detail the planting regime of a raised bed, as well as giving a couple of simple raised bed construction examples.
Raised bed gardening along with square foot gardening has really caught the imagination of the people in recent years. With this age of Austerity measures and environmental awareness that we currently live in – this is hardly surprising.
The price of food is rising along with the price of gas and the general cost of living – maybe it is time to fight back against the superstores at least, and grow your own vegetables at a fraction of the cost in a raised bed garden.
In this book you will find just what a raised bed is all about, and how you can best use the limited space available in a raised bed garden to get the best results for your labours, producing fresh chemical free vegetables for yourself, family and neighbourhood friends.
