How to Build a Raised Garden Bed - Dorothy Mohl
Introduction
If you want both basic and advanced knowledge on how to build a raised bed garden, this book will surely deliver that. Guiding you step by step and delivering guidelines on how to do it yourself when it comes to this kind of farming.
The change of climate and the start of global warming, including the breakout of many diseases and spreading globally, have necessitated the need for humans to go back to the natural way of planting and consuming food. People globally have now begun looking for pieces of land where they can live, breed livestock as well as start crop farming.
The information in this book will help you achieve the vision you have always wanted, that of consuming fresh produce, coming straight from your garden rather than the ones you buy in the marketplace.
Just picture yourself living in an environment that is free of air pollution and instead, one that is filled with fresh air and the amazing aroma of fresh vegetables coming from your own garden. You and your family would love to have fresh fruits and veggies, and you can only achieve this by starting your very own garden and then live your dream
Unlike many gardeners who move out from where they live to start gardening in rural areas (which is not a bad idea), you can always figure out a way to start gardening in your current location where you and your family enjoy living.
A raised bed garden is the way to go if you want to live away from food sold in fast-food places or restaurants that cost you a fortune to dine there. Go live a healthy and lively lifestyle by eating fresh food direct from your own garden.
Thank You So Much For Purchasing This Book. I hope You Enjoy It.
Chapter 1: What Is A Raised Garden Bed?
Raised bed gardening can be described as a form of farming whereby the soil is partitioned into three to four foot wide beds. These beds can be in different sizes. The soil is elevated from the normal level at an approximate level of six inches. Raised-bed gardens can be made in a variety of materials such as rocks, wood, and blocks made of concrete.
Planting is usually done in geometric style, and the plants are closer compared to the normal ground gardening. This kind of spacing is beneficial in that; their leaves do not come in contact. This produces a microclimate whereby moisture is not lost, and the growth of weeds is minimalized. Raised-bed gardens offer the following benefits:-
The planting time is extended.
If well-made and planted, Raised-bed gardens can minimize weeds.
A rich type of soil can be used instead of the available, poor native soil.
Because there is no stepping on the beds, this leads to roots easy growth since the soil has not been compacted by stepping.
A raised-bed garden yields more than the normal gardens due to the close planting and the use of compost.
Raised-bed gardens are suitable to the physically challenged and the elderly since there is no bending to tend the beds.
Overview
Caution should be taken when making the garden bed for vegetables. The use of pressure treated timber raises concern. Pine which has been treated with a toxic chemical mix called Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA), may take chemicals to the soil. This may end up being taken up by the plants.it can result in a case whereby the whole or parts of the plant is eaten causing worry to the gardener.
When using timber, always make sure you use the hardwood which is not treated to prevent leaching of
