Veg in One Bed New Edition: How to Grow an Abundance of Food in One Raised Bed, Month by Month

This guide shows how to grow vegetables and herbs year-round using a single 4x10ft (1.2x3m) raised bed. Author Huw Richards begins by explaining how to build a raised bed on a budget, then covers essential growing foundations including frost planning and compost-making. The core of the book provides month-by-month illustrated plans detailing what to sow, plant, and harvest. It explains which crops to start from seed (including on a windowsill) versus planting directly, and how to care for seedlings until harvest. Maintenance checklists throughout the year remind you to water, monitor for pests, and manage diseases. After the first year, Richards suggests expanding to a wider variety of vegetables, herbs, and flowers, attracting pollinators, and using organic homemade feeds to care for crops.
