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.
