Understanding Your Gardening Zone or Hardiness Zone
Before you start building your garden, take a second to learn about what gardening or hardiness zone you live in. The zone will help you understand your climate, what plants can survive your winters and give you a basic idea of when to plant your cool and warm season vegetables.



How to Use Peat Moss/Organic Matter in Your Raised Bed: Retains Water!
Peat moss is a great source of organic matter. I does not add nutrients to your soil but it does add organic matter for creating better soil. There is no nitrogen, phosphorous or potassium in it. I use peat moss to soften/loosen my clay soil. Peat moss really retains water and that will help maintain the structure of your soil and help your plants out. When growing root crops like radishes or carrots, you want a loose soil so the roots form uniformly.
