Wouldn't it be great to have fresh, organic vegetables all summer long?
Organic gardening with raised beds will produce healthy, chemical and pesticide free fruits and vegetables all summer long for only 20 minutes of tending a day.
I came to organic raised beds through necessity. I have moved many times, and many times I have dug a new garden by hand.
Where I live now is high on a rock rim of pine trees. Can't dig. Just can't be done. I even tried sifting the soil from the rock. Not worth the monumental effort.
So I tried a raised bed.
Enter angelic music. What a miracle. It works so well, I'll never garden the "traditional" way again.
