LOCATION

It's not just with real estate: choosing the best location for your salad garden can make all the difference in your success rate.

Pages 5 and 6 help you select the best spot for growing your salad greens.

SIZE & SHAPE

Use our special formula to know exactly how big you need your salad garden to be in order to feed yourself and your household all the greens you want in the coming months. This calculation ensures you'll have plenty to harvest for your green smoothies, lunch salads and dinner dishes from your salad garden.

Once you've decided on the size of your garden, use our Rooted Garden examples to select your favorite shape for your garden that suits your landscape best.

MATERIALS

Next up, choose the materials you'd like for your salad garden. You can go cheap or chic but pages 12-17 will show you the key qualities you'll want to consider as you decide on your garden's materials. Throughout the step by step, you'll get the details on building a wood garden as a clear example you can follow.

CONSTRUCTION

You've made all the hard decisions, now it's time to build. Pages 18-24 guide you through each step of the bed building process including a clear materials list and photos to accompany each and every action you need to take to successfully build your salad garden bed with cedar (or the wood of your choice).

INSTALLATION

Pages 25-28 guide you through the key steps of installing your salad garden with pro tips to be sure your bed is level, weed-free, and beautiful too. Getting your bed set up right the first time is key to success with salad gardening and you'll be off to the best start with these clear instructions.

SOIL

You might think the most important part of your garden is the garden box but it's actually the soil. That's why this book devotes 7 pages to talking about soil-how to know what kind you have already, how to amend your soil, our recommended blend for salad gardening, and our favorite soil amendments. Plus, you'll get all our formulas for calculating how much soil your salad garden beds will need.

WATER

Last, but least-you'll finish up Section 1 with all the details on connecting a water source to your salad garden. Lettuce is more than 90% water so don't skip this part! If you've ever had bitter lettuce or your lettuce plants bolted sooner than you wanted them to, it was likely a water issue. You'll learn how to prevent that in this section of the book.

Master the Key Steps to Select Your Plants, Lay Out, and Successfully Plant Your Salad Garden

SELECTION

You'll begin Section 2 of the book by learning how to select the salad plant varieties you're most interested in growing. Get introduced to the key plant families that make up a productive and delicious salad garden to make your garden full of lots of different textures and flavors.

Next, you'll learn which plants should be grown from seed and which are better to purchase as plants instead.

LAYOUT

In this step, you'll decide which plants will go in each part of your salad garden with our included chart and plant layout page. This will allow you to make the most of every square inch in your salad garden, with the most variety and flavor possible (not just rows and rows of the same thing).

SEEDS INDOORS

You'll get a step by step plan to purchase and plant your own seeds indoors with a list of all the materials you'll need as well as the details on how to get the seeds growing all the way to transplanting them into the garden space.

DIRECT SEEDING

Next, you'll learn how to plant seeds directly in the garden bed. This is perhaps the easiest way to start your salad plants and you'll get all the details on how to do it right the first time from pages 58-62.

BUYING PLANTS

In some cases, you may prefer to buy some of your salad plants. But don't head to the store just yet! We've got some tips and things to look for before you spend a penny at the nursery or hardware store. You can waste a lot of money quickly if you don't know what to prioritize when it comes to buying plants. So, be sure to read pages 63-66 before you spend another $5 on plants.

DIGGING IN

Pages 67-72 guide you through the key steps and the best order to plant your salad garden. Our method includes installing big plants, small plants and even seeds. You'll get a full materials list and lots of photos to support you as you plant out your salad garden and get ready to grow.

PROTECT

As your organic salad garden grows, you won't be the only one who wants to eat from it. The bugs and caterpillars (and possibly rabbits) will too! That's what this section is here for-to help you protect your salad garden. Learn about our organic ways to protect your salad garden from pests as well as our simple solutions to treat pests organically if they happen to land on your beautiful greens. This section removes the stress and overwhelm from pest pressure and helps you know exactly how to prevent pests and deal with them when they show up.

PLANT AGAIN

Six months of garden salad! That's the minimum we expect you to harvest from your Gardenary salad garden. This means daily cuts from your plants and also the opportunity to keep planting. This final section of the book teaches you how to keep planting in your garden by outlining the plants that can grow in the cool season, warm season and hot season too. This is meant to inspire you to try new salad green varieties and to enjoy a minimum of six months of greens from the garden each year.

You'll learn the full life cycle of your salad garden plants and even how to save seeds from your bolting plants too. We dare you to have a salad garden nearly every month this year-and this final part of the book can make that happen.
