GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR GARDEN:

Subtitle: Raised Beds for High Yields

28 minutes/Grades 7-Adult

Produced by Rodale Press in association with Bullfrog Films

Vic and Betsy Sussman demonstrate a new method of gardening in
raised beds, which produces high yields, and conserves space and
water. They take us through the gardening season P from laying out
and double digging the beds in spring, to extending fall crops. In
addition, we visit Peter Chan's exquisite garden in Portland,
Oregon; Leandre and Gretchen Poisson's homestead in New Hampshire
where they have built some ingenious "solar pods" for extending
short growing seasons; and John Jeavons of Ecology Action in Palo
Alto, California, who has done the pioneering work in documenting
the yields, and water and energy requirements of raised bed
gardens. With Raised Bed Gardening Guide.
