Raised Bed Gardening- The complete beginners guide to build and grow your own vegetable garden. Make your backyard the starting point of your self-sufficiency path

“I would LOVE to grow my own vegetable garden… if I only had space...” “Growing your own food, that would be great… if I only had time…” Sounds familiar? If so, please keep reading. When I started, a few years ago, my journey in self-sufficiency, starting out has been by far the hardest part.

I could have tested it and then decide if it was for me. Two weeks later I was pouring soil in my first 4x8 feet raised bed garden, and in some weeks I was harvesting my first five tomatoes! The first five of countless following (and not just tomatoes since then).
