Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

Hi,

Just this morning I stumbled on the Mittleider Method while browsing the internet. I'm rather new to gardening (have only done it for 2 seasons), and have had mixed results - the second season, better than the first.

I have three raised beds: two of them are around 7 ft x 4 ft, and the smaller one is only 4 ft x 4 ft. I have no plans to do prepare 'virgin' soil for planting, as I'll hit clay only a few inches below the surface. This coming season, I will also supplement my raised beds by growing various veggie plants in containers (using SmartPots).

So... I'm having trouble deciding which book to read: Grow-Bed Gardening OR The Mittleider Gardening Course. It seems that both address the topic of growing in raised beds.

Which one should I get? Thanks!

Gutierrez_fam & Group:

I really recommend you get the Mittleider Gardening Course to begin with.

Grow-Bed gardening is also very good, but the GC book is so well written and presented that you'll get properly grounded in the METHOD in that book, and then reading the Grow-Bed Gardening book will supplement that very nicely.
