Become a master raised bed gardener in no time with the easy-to-follow steps outlined in this comprehensive guide. Do you want to start a garden, but you are overwhelmed and are not sure where to even begin? Are you looking for an easy way to grow your own food at home that doesn't require hours upon hours of upkeep? Do you dream of eating fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and other veggies grown by your own hands, but you worry that you do not have enough space for a garden? If you answered “yes” to any of the questions above, you have come to the right place! The price of everything has been on the rise over the last few years, and produce has been no exception, with the cost of farm produce rising 12.7% in July of 2022, which was a whopping 61.5% increase over the prices of July 2021! What’s more, is that you cannot be sure what chemicals are on the fruits and vegetables you buy from the store. Strawberries and tomatoes, two favorites in most households, have been on the list of the “dirty dozen” fruits and vegetables for the last few years, meaning they have the highest levels of detectable pesticides on them. And buying organic doesn’t mean your produce is free from pesticide residues! The only way to truly know what is on your food is to grow it yourself, and what better way to get started than with raised bed gardening? Discover everything you need to get started in this book, including: ● The many benefits of raised bed gardening–not the least being how much your back will thank you ● All the considerations to keep in mind when choosing the perfect location for your raised bed garden ● A comprehensive list of all of the tools and materials you will need to get started on this new journey ● An easy step-by-step guide to building a raised garden bed, with information on how to utilize different materials–like troughs and cinderblocks–to build more! ● Everything you need to know about soil health to keep your plants well fed and happy ● A guide on when to plant in your raised beds, including all you need to know about hardiness zones ● An entire chapter on companion planting that goes into detail on which plants you should plant together and which should never be in the same raised bed ● How to use compost, mulch, and natural fertilizers to grow the healthiest, hardiest plants around ● How to recognize different diseases and pests so you know exactly how to protect your plants ● Bonus information on two other types of raised bed gardens for when you are ready to level up to the next level of gardening expert ● And much more.
