The Gardener's Companion!

This audiobook is a super practical guide for anyone looking to dive into raised bed gardening. It covers everything from planning and tools to planting and keeping beds thriving through winter. The chapter on soil science was a gem, making the “dirt” talk interesting and easy to follow. I loved the parts on seedling care and pest prevention—it really feels like a one-stop shop for gardening basics and beyond. If you’re into growing your own veggies or just want to keep your plants happy year-round, this book is packed with tips to help make it happen!

Ready for my thumb to finally turn green

Well I'm not sure if I can call myself a beginner anymore, since I've been trying to get this right for a few seasons, but this book is GREAT for beginners, including me! I have not been able to get raised bed gardening right yet, and I'm excited to put the things I learned in this book into practice in the coming 12 months. The first thing I'm going to put into practice from the book are the steps on how to create better soil for healthy plants using common ingredients. I've already got my beds, so thankfully I don't need to build those but I did like that section as well - if I actually get good at this I will be using those tips to build some more :). I'm also excited to try some of the books recommended "ideal plants" for raised beds. The narration in this book is also easy to listen to. Highly recommend!

Informative

As much as I love to garden, I find it overwhelming, however, with the focus of this book on raised bed gardening, it makes the learning process smooth.

It covers everything you need from the different types of bed gardening, the tools you need, the type of plants that are recommended and not for bed gardening and much more.

The book includes several pictures which makes it easier to follow and understand especially for someone visual like me! As I live in Canada and we have crazy long and extremely cold winter, I appreciated the chapter on how to keep my raised beds survive the winter.

Bonus** you get a pdf copy of the book with your purchase of the audiobook which is amazing!
