Raised Bed Gardening

Lecture (1 session) | This program is completed

Do you love to grow your own vegetables and herbs but are limited on space? Does your soil have poor drainage or quality? Raised beds and container gardening may be a solution for you. Raised beds are a great way to increase accessibility to your produce, plan for crop rotation, and can help you avoid some problems often encountered with conventional in-soil gardens. This class will cover the basics of raised bed and container gardening, the pros, the cons, special considerations, and why a raised bed might be right for you. In addition to contrasting between a traditional garden, we will also cover designs, maintenance, and some home-gardening basics.
