Stand Up and Garden: The no-digging, no-tilling, no-stooping approach to growing vegetables and herbs

We're just finishing this book. DH and I both love to garden but our backs don't. There's also the problem of bugs and weeds when you garden in the earth so we've decided to make our own elevated raised garden beds. This book gives great info on all you need and even gives resources for supplies. Definitely happy we bought it and we highly recommend it. We're building our elevated garden beds this weekend; can't wait to get the wonderful organic vegetables, herbs and other goodies we'll be harvesting! Happy gardening!

Very useful book for senior gardeners. I liked mine so much that I purchased one for a friend. I've been gardening in two foot high raised beds for the last 4 years. Wish I had seen this book first, as I would have done a different setup.One caveat: the author's system it is based on using straw bales. That's great if you live in or near the country, but not much help in the interior of the Chicago Metropolitan Area.

I bought this for my husband who is planning to build a stand up garden bed. Because of his health issues as a disabled Vietnam War Veteran he can no longer continue to garden in the traditional manner. We are now planning the elevated beds we will be building in the next few weeks; and the ideas in this book helped considerably with this endeavor.

By far one of the best raised bed gardening books out there. They are raised to the point of not having to sit or squat to work in them. We were wondering how much longer we would be able to garden with a bad back, but this will bring us many more fun years to come. Also, has ideas that won't cost you a fortune. Highly recommend this added to your gardening library.

I read through this book at the library over a span of two weeks. It had enough content to justify adding it to our new gardening library. We taking the simple approach to gardening and we don't want to make all of the classic new-gardener mistakes. This book will help us get good results without the stumbles.

This book has been an eye opener and I am anxious to try more of the methods presented. This year, the drip system in buckets was what I tried and it did well, better than I would have projected. The complete "stand up" bin method is next.

Very helpful - lots of ideas and illustrations.

Good book with some helpful photos. I wish along with the materials list there would be some illustrations on building the boxes/cages.

EXCELLENT should be titled Gardening for the Arthritic gardenerbought 5 other books on raised bed gardening total wast of moneywill be moving in 3 months time down sizing then this book will be invaluablewill have to get someone to make the straw bale raised beds butafter that gardening will be a'lot easier for this arthritic gardener.

Was not exactly what I wanted in that it tends to concentrate on growing on stray bales not wwoooden troughs

For those that want to work with less strain as we age. Gave it to a friend also that has gardened for years.Great for handicapped and aged. Still reading it on my smart phone.And you can highlight what you want. GreatLina
