Imagine having a productive vegetable garden in your own yard! In this episode of Fresh From the Garden, we show you how to lay out a new garden from start to finish -- beginning with the removal of old grass using a sod cutter and tiller. Next, see how to build raised planting beds using 2"x12" lumber -- the height of these beds ensures that plants will have a healthy soil depth. Finally, discover how to create weed-free garden paths that will allow you to spend more time gardening -- and less time weeding!
