Book Description
Gardening is world's number one outdoor leisure time practice, with 84 percent of households engaged in at least one type of gardening. Gardening is a source of personal satisfaction and pride that offers esthetic enjoyment and a chance to relieve from everyday stress. Gardening is an effective preventive method for preserving their own well-being. It can be open to anyone, with a little preparation and imagination. Disabled and elderly people who never gardened will take on a new, satisfying hobby. Gardeners who have lost their physical capacity will continue this useful activity with proper adjustment of location. While most gardening is considered part of conventional land-scape or ground-level planting, a growing number of gardeners are discovering the advantages of planting, containing, and raising beds in the gardening. Such types of gardening can be easily modified to make gardening easier for disabled and older gardeners. In a small backyard, a third-floor apartment balcony, on top of a hospital, or on the grounds of a nursing home, they are equally adaptable for gardening. Raised beds are a wonderful way to grow a large variety of plants, and are particularly popular with growing fruit and vegetables. They are a good way to improve irrigation, and can be used to add to your garden a different form of soil. Often, elevated beds are a useful way to garden if you have limited mobility, as they reduce the need to bend. Large commercial farmers have to deal with extreme weather conditions such as prolonged droughts and floods from heavy rainfall. This can cause the predicted output yields to vary between ~10-80 percent. Scientists conclude that in the future, such severe weather conditions would only intensify. Smart farmers now need to make improvements to farming methods to help ensure their next harvest. Designs for raised bed farming prove very successful for commercial farmers who grow hemp, tomatoes, strawberries, melons, etc. Learn more about the nature of raised bed farms and how they can support your large-scale farm in the book to follow.
