Description

Setting up your first raised bed garden? With help from YouTube gardening star CaliKim, youll soon be growing your own fresh, organic vegetables, herbs, and flowers like a pro.

Whether your yard is big or small, raised beds are the perfect fit. They allow you to create a controlled growing environment, filled with fertile soil, where plants thrive. Raised beds help gardeners overcome rocky or less-than-ideal soils, theres little to no weeding involved, and they can be as large or as petite as youd like. You can even use an elevated or mobile raised bed if the only sunny space you have to grow is on a patio, deck, or driveway. In The First-Time Gardener: Raised Bed Gardening, youll learn how to select the best raised bed for your space, what to fill it with, and tips for staking and trellising plants to save space and improve yields.
