Less work...less bending over, less weeds....
Plenty of youtube videos....to learn.........
Hear hear! My son has a brown thumb, I have a black thumb (I killed an air fern!) we tried straw bale gardening last year and even we were able to coax food out of it.
Fresh vine ripened San Marzano tomatoes are wonderful!
The Roma tomatoes I’m fond of planting are late producers, too-the plants just sit there, tall and covered with blooms for months-then in mid-summer they start setting fruit like some alien vegetation and produce nice tomatoes till the 1st frost comes. Raised beds are popular out here, what with the thin soil and bedrock less than a foot down-we top-mulch the soil in them with hay, shredded tree limbs, leaves etc-works great, especially for asparagus-fortunately, it is cold enough here that asparagus produces really well...
