No Dig GardensClean, green and chemical free No dig gardens are the quickest, easiest way to get home grown vegetables on your dinner table. No dig gardening or a raised garden bed, consists of layering organic materials on top of the soil to create a nutrient rich environment for your plants, in this case, vegetables. The garden literally composts the materials while feeding the plants. No matter what your location, no dig vegetable gardens are an option for you. A raised garden bed means that it is immaterial what sort of soil you currently have. Simply layer materials over the top of your surface and start growing! # They're easy to build (a morning's work!) # They're virtually maintenance free. # They mirror nature to create a rich, organic environment for your plants. # They can be built anywhere, any time to any design. Gardening is sublime. It is where you can enjoy the wonder of nature close up and personally. No matter where you are. Don't let the current quality of your soil hold you back. You will need a sunny space and a flat surface. Beyond that, just add a few ingredients and you're on your way. So let's get growing! www.no-dig-vegetablegarden.com/

I've tried the raised bed gardening. It's alright for some things, but when your garden is almost 1/4 to 1/2 acre raised beds just don't work.

We're lucky to have the acreage we do here in town. I think the way the deed reads its about 5 acres.

I have just under an acre and its mostly downhill too. Plus mostly surrounded by trees. The good thing is I am on high ground. Raised garden beds are beyond what I am able to do around here. But still thinking about container planting a few things. Wonder how much potting soil I can get in my little trunk. Everything is little around here.
