The Best book on Raised Bed gardening

This book is a very good users reference to raised bed gardening, probagating vegetable plant growth, intensive use of vegetable planting and growing a garden in the winter for very few dollars. I recommend it highly to anyone just starting out with vegetable gardening. The intensive plantings makes it possible for a large family to have a garden in a VERY small space and even in a city on concrete. Read this and prove me wrong I dare you!!!
