Cubed Foot Gardening

Cubed Foot Gardening - Growing Vegetables in Raised, Intensive Beds by Christopher Bird.

I will be honest this book did not have lots of amazing new information on the concept of raised beds gardening and overall was not to much use to me.  It did provide a little insight into building of the beds using 2 x 6 or preferable 2 x 12 lumber and even the use of the green treat lumber to help the beds last longer.  While I personally am not a fan of using the green treat lumber due the assortment of chemicals that goes into making it I do not believe at this time that there is any scientific evidence that would prevent you from safely using it.  

Overall its a solid book that would be a great primer for anyone that is interested in learning more about intensive garden beds.
