No More Excuses - Get Out and Grow is a gardening book by Gee Grey. Having learnt about gardening from his mother, he became an expert in the art of raised bed gardening. The inspiration to write the book came from his realization that gardening hacks are not common knowledge for everyone. He would get questions from people about his garden; therefore, he decided to share his knowledge. He believes gardening can improve one's quality of life as well as help families interact in a fun and productive way during the day.

G. Grey goes into detail explaining what raised gardens are. He gives examples of the same. He outlines a variety of options one has, from the most effective to the most affordable. Reading the book will help the reader realize that gardening, just like everything else, requires proper planning and preparation to achieve the desired result. He has also included plants that complement one another in a garden, like mixing some flowers with vegetables, and those that one should avoid planting together. This was by far the most fascinating part.

What I adored about this book is that the author acknowledges the essence and need for people to go organic. By having your garden, you are assured of what you eat in a world bombarded with chemicals. He also does a great job providing tips, such as using untreated wood to make raised beds, to the gardener to minimize inorganic chemicals. Most of his ideas on how to care for the plants and the soil are natural. That was an immense sigh of relief as it made me realize it is possible to go organic and care for the environment and ourselves at large.

There was nothing I did not like about this book. The book is precise and does not include unnecessary exaggerations. The author has included several pictorial demonstrations to give the reader a visual idea of what he is talking about.

I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. I could not rate it any lower because of its possible impact. If the reader decided to implement the ideas, we would have a better place to live in. We would get rid of inorganic foods, which would improve our health and also the state of our planet. I recommend this book to anyone interested in gardening. I encourage men to read it, as this is coming from a fellow man who has found joy in gardening and feeds his family almost all year round from his garden.

This book has an interesting cover page, very click bait. This book should be for those who have gardens or hope to grow one. It has an inviting cover page though.
