Reading O, Educator
Tara Nolan, I am IMPRESSED! This is the how-to guide that every DIY person needs! She provides complete directions for creating raised beds, including measurements and the types of wood. Better still, she provides many styles of plans for raised beds and also frames for cold weather. She even gives ideas for those who are handy with wood tools, although her recommendations are no more complicated than a circular saw.
This book makes the construction look so simple that I am inspired to try my own. Hardware store, here I come!
