Das grosse Hochbeet-Buch

This book is produced in a climate-positive way, printed cradle-to-cradle, and remains plastic-free and unpackaged.

From the first delicate seedlings to the infinity of the raised bed universe - in the great raised bed book, no questions are left unanswered: from starting and building, to the right location, successful companion planting, irrigation systems, fertilization, mulching, and care, all the way to a bountiful harvest in every season. Doris Kampas guides you through all the challenges of elevated gardening life, explains how to continue successfully after the first honeymoon year, shows how your raised bed can cope with extreme weather, and makes every planting dream come true with more than 20 example and themed beds. Have you ever thought about planting a fiesta of Mexican flavors with jalapeños, tomatillos, corn, and more? Or sprucing up your darkest garden corner with a shaded raised bed? Up, set, go!

Keeping the box running - 365 days are not enough. Planting the same thing every year? Certainly not! Plan your planting so that you can enjoy your raised bed for many years. This works best when distinguishing between preceding, succeeding, companion, and main crops, and when choosing planting distances wisely - it sounds more complicated than it is. With the help of clear tables and example beds, you can create your own system based on your taste and vision, and determine exactly what and how much you want to grow with the right crop rotation. Whether you have little time or endless leisure, want to regularly harvest something for the pot, or prefer to serve a buffet for insects, plant your own spring vitamins, or simply wait and pick tea - the right plan is already designed.

The 11 big questions of raised bed gardening. They exist - the FAQs of raised beds, and Doris Kampas knows them all.
