Author Kevin Espiritu has built a modern, high-tech homestead on a modest urban lot. In Epic Homesteading, he teaches you how to do the same, wherever you live. Both indoor and outdoor growing are covered in the pages of this book. You’ll learn how to select a site, pick your plants, and grow them. Not only will you be primed with information about gardening with the items in the bundle, you’ll get a sense of how homesteading can happen right where you are.

The Round Short Kit Includes:

• 5 panels
• A pack of bolts, nuts, and washers
• Vinyl safety edging
• Hand wrench
• Instruction manual

Not only is this easy-to-assemble garden bed a convenient size for any gardener, it stands taller than most beds at 15 inches. This means you can grow almost any plants in this bed. Plants with shallow roots, like lettuce, and deep taproots, like carrots, all apply. Add to that the lightweight, rust-resistant exterior, and you’re working with some of the best metal raised beds on the market. This bed will last you a long time, too.

With the know-how and the raised bed you need to grow, now you need some seeds! Thankfully, Epic Gardening is the parent company of Botanical Interests, a viable source of reliable and viable seeds. Choose from carefully selected high-quality varieties, including many tried-and-true heirlooms. Or purchase superior gardening products after you’ve selected your seeds. But skip the seed starting supplies for now.

You need a base for seed-starting if you’re going to grow your own garden. That’s why the giveaway includes two 1020 Universal Bottom Trays (UBT) that make growing your own plants from seed easier. Our UBT allows you to get the benefits of bottom watering without any mess. It keeps all the water and soil with the plants, not all over your house. These are a staple for gardeners of any level who want to care for plants from their beginnings on.

Having a 1020 is great, but it’s even better when you have durable, reliable seed starting trays to work with. Our Epic 6-Cell Trays are rigid, yet flexible and practically unbreakable to last the rest of your life. They are proudly made in the USA from recycled, UV-treated, and BPA-free plastic. Each individual cell in our Epic 6-Cell Trays features an air pruning side slot on all four corners to discourage root circling and encourage better root growth. The bottoms of each cell are also open providing air pruning at their lower end. All 12 of these fit perfectly into one of your UBTs.

Just like our 6 Cells, our 4 Cells are sustainably made in the USA, and they’re designed to last a lifetime. And all of them fit into a single UBT with ease. Epic 4-Cell trays can be used for crops that need more rooting space such as melons, cucumbers, and tomatoes. They can also be used for potting up seeds grown with our Epic 6-Cell trays. Relegate your second UBT to larger crops, or tier your seed starting operation by up-potting into them when your 6 Cell seedlings are large enough.
