Such a good resource!

A practical and concise audiobook, making it a fantastic resource for those new to gardening. I loved the introduction for including walking barefoot or using bare hands outside. Being barefoot is the best! The author clearly loves gardening and gives thoughtful advice. It also seems she is an expert on the topic and it really shows. She recommends sharpening tools for safety and spraying around the raised bed garden to avoid chemicals on the food - a great reason to have a raised bed garden instead of a garden level on the ground. There’s so much information here that I only scratch the surface. Highly recommended for beginner gardeners. Oh, and the puns are puntastic!

So helpful

Great audiobook for anyone looking to start their gardening journey. I loved how the audiobook demystified the process, making it accessible and enjoyable. The no-dig method was a game-changer, saving me time and effort. The step-by-step guidance on planning, building, and planting my garden was incredibly helpful as well - I was missing key parts of this process trying to do it on my own. Also the audiobook's emphasis on organic gardening and the freedom to customize the garden's size were really helpful for me. If you're eager to grow your own organic vegetables and enjoy the outdoors, this audiobook is a fantastic resource.
