raised bed gardening, kind of square foot gardening. but instead of wood that will disintegrate and have to be redone in a couple years it uses cinder blocks. the math is already done for you as to how much of what you'll need to build different sizes (which i much appreciate). i'd really like to build one or two of these for my garden!

edited to add - i did build two of them! and now i'd like to build a third. it takes more than they said to fill them up when you make them three blocks tall. and it settles over time. but the three block height is perfect for me to sit on while i do planting and weeding. and i have my blueberry bushes in one so i can sit while i pick all the blueberries.

I mostly just read the section that diagrams how to build a cinder block garden, which provided simple and useful instruction. The rest of the book provides info on how and what to plant. I skimmed that, but is seem pretty useful as well. Highly recommended if you're building a cinder block garden.

I thought this was a great and practical idea for a raised bed garden. This is a how to set it up book that explains clearly wiht lots of diagrams and charts. I am looking forward to using this style of gardening.

This is the way I would choose to garden, if I could buy all the block. So easy & practical!
