Useful and practical guidance
Having never done any gardening before, this is what we needed to start! Great advice for beginners, clear narration and some really useful tips that we put into practice straight away. Chapter 2 and Chapter 7 are MUST listen to chapters because, without either of these, you will struggle - I was never aware of the problems until I listened to these two chapters. We will be re-listening to this again as we go through the varying stages and successfully have a raised bed garden!

Fantastic guide
There are so many reasons to set up raised garden beds. Personally, I have plenty of gardening space. However, with a destructive dog who thoroughly enjoys digging, it is difficult to maintain healthy crops. This listen was a wonderful guide to allow me to keep gardening using the simplicity and efficiency of garden beds. I found it informative and well-narrated, providing an engaging and enriching experience. Loved it!

This will be great for you if your at the start
I have always fancied a go at this hobby so I got this book just out of interest to look into it a bit further. What I like about it is its really well structured. The first Three chapters spell out clearly the benefits, how to plan it all out and how to go about it . Chapter three dives well into the materials and tools you will require to have a successful raised bed garden, It's also good how the author goes into the pros and cons of much of the equipment and materials mentioned in the chapter. Moving on I think chapter seven on maintaining and looking after your raised bed would be one of the most important chapters in this hobby. All in all I think this book will give you an insight on how to go about this sort of project successfully. Top Tip... Use great soil ;o)

Raised Beauty
GF Quinn has written a great book full of information for first time and long time raised bed garrdeners. The narration by Kara Hayden is excellent. This book will be used as a resource for gardeners and as such my husband and i were taking notes while listening. The narration is so spot on that it required very little pausing and/or rewinding while we were taking our notes.
Our goal was to grow some organic veggies for consumption year round. We are total novices, beginner gardeners i guess. Thanks to this book we feel prepared to start the journey toward year long sustainable organic food supply. We know that our climate wouldn't support our goal but then found raised bed gardening.
GF Quinn's book really helpled give us the confidence that we could start. In the book we learned how to build our box right down to what tools to use. But the items that were the most useful for us as beginners was How to plant (spacing) water, and rotate our crop. when you couple that with soil maintencane information provided you will feel like us. Ready to plant and start enjoying your garden.
This is a great book, we highly recommend it.
