The revolutionary Overhead Garden takes the raised garden concept to new heights…..literally! You’ve never seen anything quite like it….it’s the World’s Greatest Backyard Garden. Our claims may sound too good to be true, but in this book, we prove it!

Many current books on existing raised gardens claim to eliminate bending and stooping, but this vertical garden truly delivers on that promise. All of your gardening is waist high, or higher. With our unique use of overhead arches, all of your vegetables are within comfortable reach….upward. Better yet, the productivity from vertical growth is increased by as much as 4 times relative to a simple horizontal bed. Vining plants like tomatoes can grow stalks 15 feet long, loaded with product. Furthermore, weeding is almost eliminated. Backyard gardening can now be relaxing and enjoyable, the way you always hoped it would be. You will have the nutritious, sustainable, money saving and secure food supply right in your backyard.

This book is an abridged version of our printed book. It is meant to introduce you to our patentable new concept. It contains Chapters on Soil Preparation, Seeds, Composting, Micro Irrigation Techniques, Soil Amendments, Water Harvesting, Crop Layout and Construction Materials. We have developed a unique new way to use inexpensive Magnesium Oxide mineral board for your garden structure…this is a breakthrough you need to know about. We also provide computer generated, step by step Instructions for 7 different Overhead Garden modifications that will allow almost anyone to construct their own unit.
Importantly, we have adapted Water Wicking techniques for use in our Overhead Garden structures. This is the ultimate in low water usage and water conservation, especially in water starved regions where drought is a major issue.
Finally, we have a major section on “Why” you should have an urban garden in the changing World we live in. It covers the security threats of Increased Food Costs, Drought, Distribution System Shutdown, Soil Depletion and Empty Vegetables, and even the threat of shutdowns caused by Cyber Attack. These are the reasons why the experts predict that that over 20% of our vegetables will come from Urban Gardens in the next 6 years. Food production is undergoing major change, as we can no longer afford to ship lettuce in refrigerated trucks over a 1000 miles.
