I think I have convinced my hubby that we start this year on getting raised beds to garden next year. I have suggested both square foot and lasagna gardening approach. So far, from what he has researched, he likes them both. Now all I need are recommendations on good books on those subjects!

If you have a book that you found with useful and good information for new-ish gardners ..what is the title of that book(s).
(on square foot gardening and also lasagna gardening)
Thanks

Sqaure Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew, hands down the best raised garden advice.

I have to agree with Diane. I follow the recipe for "Mel's Mix" and my veggies do so well!
