Raised Row Gardening: Incredible Organic Produce with No Tilling and Minimal Weeding
Easier and Cheaper to Set Up Than Raised Beds!
For homeowners young and old looking for the easiest and most affordable way to grow the most vegetables, the Raised Row method shared in this breakthrough book is the new go-to choice. In the past decade, raised bed gardening has been wildly popular, but it requires buying wood or another material to build the raised beds, which quickly becomes expensive and labor intense. A raised row garden uses just soil and mulch, such as shredded leaves, to create raised growing rows and walking rows. This method is more budget-friendly, natural and just as effective to control weeds and see an impressive harvest your first year. Jim and Mary Competti, founders of the blog Old World Garden Farms, are the leaders of this gardening revolution. They’ve perfected and streamlined their method over several years. They spend only a few minutes per day maintaining a large garden that provides their family with food for the whole year. In this book, they share their secrets so anyone can do it too.
Raised rows utilize straw mulch, compost and cover crops to enrich the soil you have and keep down weeds naturally. This way, no backbreaking overturning of the beds is required, as it is for traditional row gardening. Now, readers can work less and enjoy the fruits of their gardens more!

No new information
As a seasoned gardener, I was hoping that this book contained new information however I was disappointed. It in mainly composed of information not pertaining to row gardening. I’m afraid that information was added to lengthen the book for if it was just about raised row gardening it would be only one forth of its original page count.

As a lazy gardener, I love the idea of this method. I feel like it was explained well, and the diagrams and sample plans were helpful. Now if I can just find a spot sunny enough to work!

I thought this was a helpful introduction to “old world” gardening methods. I wish it had more pictures.

Great ideas, a bit material heavy to begin said raised rows. May prove difficult to grow large pumpkins and squash with this method.
