"GRANDMA'S NO WORK VEGETABLE GARDENING"
The Easiest Way To Get Fresh Tasty Veggies For Your Whole Family
"Grandma's No Work Vegetable Gardening" by Joyce Zborower provides
simple, easy-to-follow instructions for building and planting a new
organic gardening bed right over an old chemical bed, a grassy spot
that's never been planted before, a rocky area or even in a raised
planting bed so you won't have to bend over to harvest your
goodies. And once the bed is ready and planted, any further work on
your part is very minimal.
And there are B&W photos to show you exactly what to do.
Is it really "no work?" . . . No, but it's as close as you'll ever
get without hiring someone to take care of it for you.
"Grandma's No Work Vegetable Gardening" is exactly the same as "No
Work Vegetable Gardening" (paperback edition) except the photos are
B&W and the price is lower.
This Is A New Release Of The Original 1878 Edition.

Does a Raised Bed Gardening System worry you? There is not a lot of
mystery to raised bed gardening, more the knowing of what makes
this technique successful. Simply put, it is the building of a bed
above the ground. It could be in the back yard, the front yard, or
even up on top of a deck or patio. With a raised bed garden you do
have more control over the soil and also the wetness of the soil
both of which are important in getting the best results from your
gardening efforts. Generally speaking you have less worry about
weeds and pests and once you have set them up they are much easier
to maintain. There are certain aspects that need to be considered
when building a raised garden bed to ensure its success. Find out
