0:00.7	Hi friend and welcome back to the Beginners Garden podcast.
0:04.4	Today we're going to be having a discussion on raised beds versus containers.
0:09.8	One thing that a lot of beginners that I talk to are trying to decide between is whether
0:14.2	to grow their vegetables in raised beds or containers. At first glance it seems very very similar, but they're actually very different.
0:23.0	And the way that you grow your crops in one of those methods, whether it's raised beds or
0:27.5	containers, is very different from each other. And it's also different from if you're growing
0:31.5	in the ground. Now, we're not going to talk about growing in the ground today. I have other
0:35.0	episodes in the past on that. and I just wanted to spend a

1:23.7	By tuning in each Tuesday, I hope that you leave inspired and with practical tips and that gardening will change your life as it did mine.
1:34.3	Before we jump into today's topic, I wanted to let you know that for a limited time, only through January 26th, just to help you as you're starting to plan your garden,
1:45.6	I'm offering you free access to my mini-course, Companion Planting 101. This is a mini-course
1:52.9	that I introduced last year and it was wildly popular, mainly because companion planting is such a
1:59.2	popular subject, especially when it comes to garden
2:01.5	planning, but it can get very overwhelming. There's lots of things online as to what to plant
