Very quickly I realized what the hype was about gardening...ordering seeds must be just like picking out your next designer drug, because I hooked and no form of rehab was going to help! My husband and I nailed together 4x4 foot garden beds and composted directly in them during the fall of 2010 and into the spring of 2011, following the advice of Ruth Stout. ...
