Very helpful audible

Having failed at raised beds in the past, I needed an audible that would take me from start to finish without everything going rotten in between - this audible delivered everything and now I have thriving raised beds. We only have a small garden but the results we have seen in just over a month have been incredible. Highly recommended to anyone starting out.

Fantastic book!

I have always wanted to grow my own fruit and vegetable in my garden but unfortunately never could find enough time with young kids and work. Now that the kids are a little older and don't need me as much, I really want to get into gardening and not just because I want to be self-sufficient but also for health reasons.
This book is an amazing guide for beginners like me as it teaches the basics of gardening from budgeting, and preparing the soil to choosing the best plants and much more.

I cannot wait to get started!

Amazing book for beginners.

In fact, I always wanted to grow my garden and I never got it because I had no idea how to start and how to do it. I've always admired anyone who has lots of beautiful plants and it seems so easy to keep them that way. Now I'm confident that I can do that too. It's amazing!!!

Growing Dreams

Being a big fan of gardening, this book has really opened my eyes to becoming more self-sufficient. Back when I was just starting out as a gardener, I remember how tough it was with the old-fashioned methods. The soil wasn't great, and the weather always seemed to mess things up. But when I stumbled upon raised bed gardening, everything changed for the better. The author's clear explanations, along with Matthew's friendly voice, took me right back to the excitement of building my first raised bed. Now, as I put what I've learned from the book into practice, I feel that sense of growth and care all over again.
