A reliable green thumb companion

It doesn't matter how much experience you have with gardening to get a lot out of this audiobook, maybe the less the better actually because he goes through just about everything you need to know to get started with your new garden and to continually produce the best food possible. Everything you could ever want to know about your project is gone over in great detail, from which materials to use, to which soils to use, to which weed control to use, to how best to cultivate your new harvest with some serious guidance and myth busting along the way.

This book is a great resource if you want to get a plant bed going or if you have one and just want some new ideas on how to get the best results. The instructions here are clear and comprehensive, so it's hard to go wrong. My suggestion is to listen to this once all the way through, then go back to relevant sections as you develop your private little victory garden. Really good stuff!

Great tips & tricks

I moved to Idaho 2 years ago, and the house I bought had 4 raised-bed gardens. This book has been helpful in providing tips and tricks for my new hobby. The cold weather up here makes gardening difficult. But with raised-bed gardens, the growing season is slightly longer. I love the advice about growing what you love the most. Last year I planted lots of options - just trying to see what would grow here. But now I try to grow only what I want to actually eat.

Wonderful guide for beginners

This was a comprehensive, clear, and informative guide for anyone who has not had the experience of learning to garden on their own. I appreciated the spectrum of information from the differences between raised bed and traditional gardening, to what to consider, plan, and implement when choosing to cultivate a raised bed garden. I'm a beginner gardener myself and have failed in many attempts at various vegetables, herbs, flowers, etc. After listening to this book, i now have a very good idea why I was unable unble to succeed and my garden didn't produce like I was hoping. I'm looking forward to approaching my next season well-equipped with the gems and recommendations found in this book. Highly recommend!

The raised bed green-thumb grimoire

I recently watched a YouTube video that went into the deep dark underbelly of the chemical industry, pesticides, and the outrageous effects they have on our bodies!

Not something I am particularly interested in ingesting, if I’m honest.

These health related subjects have me seriously interested in creating my own produce; something I am all the more excited about due to Frank Mitchell’s excellent title that delivers the goods (no pun intended) on raised bed gardening and green-thumb wisdom.

Pretty much anything and everything you could want to know are included, such as organic pest and weed control, beginner raised bed know-how, home food producing, and so much more.

If you’re like me and interested in both the health and mental benefits of gardening. Then I highly recommend this excellent, well-narrated (thank you, Herold) title.
