Veg in One Bed: How to Grow an Abundance of Food in One Raised Bed, Month by Month

Product Information

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. A few mild provisos: since he's in the UK, some of the varieties of plants he recommends aren't available here, and I had to do some research of my own to see if the plan for his climate would work well in mine. His ambitious plan also relies a lot on starting crops off on the windowsill, but I don't have a windowsill I can dedicate to the task, so I'll be sowing directly into the bed all through the growing season. I wish he'd spoken a little more about that possibility and how that might change when to plant/when the harvest will be ready. However, his book is about how to raise 19 different vegetables in one bed in one growing season, not how to meet my particular needs--and he definitely delivers his promise. Pull radishes once the tops of the colourful roots peep above the soil and reach about 1cm (½in) across. Sow another row before they are finished. Covers the first year in detail, with the final chapter on "Next Steps" providing suggestions of what to do in years two and three

Milujem prehľadnosť, jasnú štruktúru, na pohľad pochopiteľné návody. Skvelé je, že kniha obsahuje viacero typov ročných plánov - pre pestovanie v chladnej klíme, v suchých oblastiach, či pre milovníkov šalátov, alebo lenivcov ako som ja 🙆🏻‍♀️. Again- our seedlings didn’t make much progress but I think this is more to do with the change in the season (yup, I’m blaming the weather). And we got a grand total of…. zero kohlrabis.

Size – this small, defined space is easily manageable when it comes to adding nutrients to the soil, staying on top of weeds and pests, and planning plant spacings.
