About this audiobook
Master your first gardening experience – even with limited space – by following these 9 easy steps!
Gardening has long been an extremely rewarding practice – giving you the power to grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs for your kitchen and your dinner table.
However, it can require a lot of time, patience, and, most importantly, space.
Space is a big issue, especially if you live in an urban area or don’t have access to sprawling, open ground.
And that’s where raised beds and containers come in! These compact mini-gardening methods allow you to plant and maintain a garden easily and are flexible enough to let you grow whatever you want.
Whether a small strip of land, a balcony, a patio, or a terrace, raised bed and container gardening allow you easy access to nature’s freshest bounty in miniature gardens – with the same quality and freshness of a large one.
In this guide, you will discover:
- A beginner-friendly 9-step process to fast-track your way to raised bed and container gardening
- Prepare Like a Pro – everything that you need to know and do to grow a garden from scratch
- DIY Designs – build your own raised beds and find out how to utilize empty containers
- How to create the perfect soil mix for your raised beds and containers
- Watering and Irrigation – from hand watering to DIY drip systems, explore a host of watering methods for efficient and enriching hydration of your plants
- The fundamentals of garden maintenance and organic pest control
- Organic fertilization methods and recipes to aid in your plants’ growth
And much more.
Gardening is a long-term investment – it changes your lifestyle and allows you to live sustainably and naturally.
Discover how to start gardening no matter how much space you do or don’t have.
