Grow your own vegetable garden with this practical, straightforward
gardening guide.
There is nothing more fulfilling than growing your own home produce. You
don't have to be a seasoned gardener to produce a healthy, flourishing
garden - all you need is a few seeds, water, sunlight, good advice and
patience!
In just one raised bed, author Huw Richards, shows you exactly how to
grow vegetables organically, abundantly and inexpensively so you have
something to harvest every month of the year.
Here's what you'll find inside:
- Month-by-month guide to what to do and how to do it, including what
pests to look out for, and what can be harvested.
- Covers first year in detail, with the final chapter on 'Next Steps'
providing suggestions of what to do in years two and three.
- Illustrations show you what the bed should look like month to month.
- Windowsill planting ensures early success cultivating plants before
they are transferred into the bed.
- Maintenance sections ensure readers know how to keep their plants (and
raised bed) healthy each month.
- Includes instructions on assessing your site and building a 4x10ft
(1.2x3m) raised bed.
- Alternative vegetables are recommended, allowing readers to tailor
their bed to their taste.
- Plans chart growing season for different circumstances: cool climate,
low rainfall, low effort, salad bed, winter bed, herbs and edible
flowers.
Month by month, discover what you need to do and how to do it. Try
becoming more self-sufficient in your allotment, a small garden, or even
on a roof terrace. Veg In One Bed shows you that you can have a small
thriving garden and still be able to maintain it, yielding fresh
vegetables all year round. Learn what to do each month on your
windowsill, where you'll raise seedlings, and in your raised bed, where
your plants will grow to maturity. Everything is explained in clear,
illustrated steps: building your bed, growing from seed, planting,
feeding, and harvesting.
This gardening book not only guides you through the whole process of
building your raised bed through to harvesting your vegetables but also
provides sustainable gardening practices, which will resonate with all
gardeners committed to protecting our planet. This makes for the perfect
book for new gardeners who want to grow their own produce, as well as
the new generation of gardeners who are seeking a gardening guru of
their own age.
Veg in One Bed goes beyond the inspiring demonstrations on his YouTube
channel "Huw Richards - Grow Food Organically". In this book he
organizes all his ideas and suggestions into a blueprint for growing
your own vegetables month by month. Little growing experience? Only a
small space? No matter - with Veg in One Bed, you can still eat food
you have grown all through the year.
