If you’re new to the Garden Planner, note that these newsletters include your customized planting reminders based on your garden plans and ZIP code (see below), as well as timely gardening tips.To kick things off, we’d like to share a new feature article that includes six ways to get low-cost (or no-cost) garden beds going. How to Build Cheap Garden Beds also explains why a lot of the discussion in the gardening world about the benefits of raised beds is hype. Some gardeners struggle year after year with particular pest pressures. To help you find natural solutions to ward off pests and keep your plants healthy, we’ve started a new Insect and Pest Series.
