Spring is in the air, at least today it is, and it's time to start gardening. If you are a beginner, you can get started in very little space for very little money (this one cost me about $40). A 4-ft. by 4-ft. raised garden bed can supply an adult with a salad at lunch for the entire growing season, and it won't take you much time to build one. In this video, you can watch me assemble one.

After you try it, show it off to other members in the

Furthermore, this fine gardening article suggests that the amount leaching out of even the old CCA lumber is so insignificant that even the old stuff was not a problem.

It is really important to understand the science.

Keep up the great advice!
