Informative. Great reference for beginners

I am the perfect demographic for this book. I do not have green thumbs and this book made me feel comfortable. It is easy to understand and yet comprehensive. I love and Dos and Donts section. I love list-style content. I can’t wait to start raised bed gardening. This book is practical and is conscious that people don’t have a huge budget for gardening. It is a realistic and understanding view. I appreciate that.

Great tips

Last summer I got a raised bed garden to try my hand at growing some vegetables. It was okay but if I had listened to this book beforehand, it would have been even better. This book has helpful tips and techniques for starting a raised bed garden from picking the right soil to choosing the appropriate companion plants, and more. I would recommend it for beginners most especially.

If you are looking for your green thumb, look here

I have read other books about gardening, and I love the fact that it addresses an overlooked aspect which is pollination. Now whenever I start gardening, I can add that tool to my tool kit. Even if you don't have a green thumb and looking for some home improvement, look no further. The guide shows you step by step to maintain and upkeep your plants. I am recommending this to everyone I know.
