Cubed Foot Gardening: Growing Vegetables in Raised, Intensive Beds (Paperback)

Cubed Foot Gardening: Growing Vegetables in Raised, Intensive Beds Book Description

Raised beds are widely acknowledged as the way to grown the greatest yields of vegetables per alloted space. Christopher O. Bird offers a guide on how to get going with this most efficient and asthetically pleasing form of growing.

Chris Bird does all his vegetable gardening in thickly planted raised beds, framed in 2 X 12 lumber and filled with custom-blended soil. The results are both eye- and mouth-opening. Moreover, his method requires so little work that you'll feel guilty when you try it. "Cubed Foot Gardening" shows how to build these simple, inexpensive beds and how to grow the most popular vegetables in them, using innovative tricks and techniques that would not be possible to employ in a conventional garden. It explains the author's revolutionary methods for growing sweet corn as well as white asparagus, and tells how cubed foot gardening has helped him to win giant tomato contests every year.

Most of us still garden the way our grandparents did, a habit that goes back to our farm heritage. But if vegetable gardening were being discovered today for the first time, the rules would be quite different. We would all be cubed-foot gardeners.
