This is an excellent intro to raised beds book. Out of alllll the gardening books I own, this is the one my hubby looks at. The advice is easy to put into action, and we are already planning how to fix our beds for next year, even as this year winds up. We will be ready for spring before spring arrives for once! Not to mention looking forward to a bed of fall and winter herbs and greens. Photos, drawings, diagrams, really clear instructions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but a huge file !

Quite a good guide to raised bed veg growing, but the file is huge. Only 80 pages, but 43819Kb ! Lots of high resolution images, - even the text ? It loads onto my keyboard kindle ok, but only partly loads onto my Android lap top. Hence it loses a star from my rating. Better to buy the paperback edition, - only a few pence more.

5.0 out of 5 stars 3.5 stars rounded [Right] up. Basic but entertaining read. From Radishes to Fartichokes.

[ Update: Having read some less informative books on the subject and having warmed to this book, I have upped my star rating to 4.5 rounded-up because:

Information is concisely presented. Images are relevant.
Physical presentation of text and images is very clear.
Pests and diseases are comprehensively covered.
A good variety of crops are covered.
Charts of sowing/growing seasons are very clear. ]

Original review:
This is a fairly basic book and is only 80 pages long; it's no bible.
And over half the book is dedicated to crop varieties and their sowing/harvesting windows.

It isn't immediately obvs from the title that it only concerns PRODUCE.
I grow all sorts of nefarious verdage in my beds but I guess it's a similar principle.

There does seem to be an assumption that we either have a massive plot or want to dedicate our whole garden to edibles.
For example, massive 3-bay compost heaps are depicted but no mention of wormery compost which demands much less space.
Even in the small garden section, the compost heap looks the size of my shed. (OK, so It's a very small shed.)

Still, it's a pleasing read with lots of illustrations and photo's.
Thus good coffee-table fodder.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely readable and comprehensive beginners guide to raised bed growing

Love this book, it’s one of my must reads, as a new allotment plot holder.

Great photos, simple to read, well laid out so it’s easy to follow.
Simple and useful diagrams as well as the text is readable and gives you what you need to know to start off.

Book is not too thick or heavy, so it’s easy to carry in my tool bag when I visit the allotment

Highly recommended
