Excellent ideas

I recently decided to grow some vegetables at home in order to reduce the high costs. This book gave me a good idea of ​​how I can start using raised beds in home cultivation.
In the UK we don't normally have big spaces in our houses/flats, so after listening to this book, this issue is no longer is a problem as we can do it in a very small area.
This book gives you the basic principles to start using high bed row gardening and leads you step by step gives you very, very important advice to avoid making mistakes and it is very suitable for beginners like me and therefore I recommend it if you want to do this process. The Author did a great job by structuring the book very well.

Great for more advanced people too

What's sick about this book is that it's perfect for beginners who don't know much about gardening. The author gives you step-by-step instructions on everything you need to know, from building your own raised bed to selecting the right soil and fertilizer.

But don't think it's just for newbies, even seasoned gardeners will find some gems in here. Chelsea is all about sustainable gardening, so you'll learn about water conservation, waste reduction, and how to make the most of your garden space.

Everything you need

This book teaches you everything you need to know about raised bed gardens and how to create your own. I am completely new to gardening in general. From listening to this book, I am now equipped with a wealth of knowledge, am much more confident in my gardening abilities, and look forward to starting my raised bed garden.

As a beginner, I can assure you that this book guides you through the process in a step-by-step, easy-to-understand manner. I love how the author nails down all the important details to get started and promote long-term sustainability. For example, I would not have known what wood to use and not use, and numerous examples are in the book. This has saved me many headaches in the future. Even details like soil heat and water levels are explained, as well as the sizing of the garden.

I found the chapter on plant diseases very helpful, as I would not have known what to do if this had occurred in my garden. The chapter on greenhouses was also very educational, and I learned a lot from it. Overall, a great book for all the beginner raised bed gardeners.
