"Know where your food comes from."
Here at Alabama Urban Gardens, we believe that fresh fruits and veggies are the key to health. Several years ago, my wife and I decided that we wanted to grow our own food. We tried several methods throughout the years, and eventually (after MUCH trial and error) settled on raised bed gardens. We like raised beds for several reasons:
-They keep the weeds down.
-They make your plants more inaccessible to pests.
-With the right soil mix, they are great at holding water.
-They organize your garden neatly.
-Soil in the raised beds heats up quicker than the ground so that you can plant earlier.
-The soil in raised beds never gets walked on, so it never gets compacted and hard.
-Earthworms love the fluffy soil in raised beds.
-They are easy to irrigate and trellis.
-They can be easily fitted with hoops so that the beds can be covered to extend your growing season, or to protect vulnerable seedlings.
So, now that we've found a good method of growing that works well, we want to share it with others by building raised beds for gardeners and aspiring gardeners in the central Alabama area.
Our raised beds are built of the highest quality materials and soil so that they last a LONG time, and give you the best chance of success with your garden. If you want to garden effectively and easily and don't quite know where to start, give us a call/email and we'll be sure to get you growing; and we'll follow up with advice and tips any time you need them to assure your success.
