About GardenLedger

GardenLedger is a reference site covering urban vegetable and herb growing in Canadian cities. The content focuses on practical decisions — frame construction, soil composition, container selection, timing — rather than general gardening philosophy.

The site covers three main areas: raised bed construction and management for backyards and courtyards, container herb growing for balconies and small spaces, and zone-specific planting schedules for cities across Canada from BC to the Maritimes.

Editorial Approach

Articles are written from documented practice and cross-referenced against government agricultural resources, university extension publications, and peer-reviewed horticultural research where available. The focus is on conditions specific to Canadian climates: freeze-thaw cycles, compressed growing seasons, and urban soil conditions that differ substantially from standard horticultural guides written for US or European climates.

External links appear only to authoritative sources: Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, provincial agriculture ministries, Environment and Climate Change Canada, and established Canadian horticultural organizations.
