Which is a better headline?
Extending the garden season by months
Getting the most out of a raised bed garden
Why not, 'Extend the garden season by months using raised garden beds'?
Jodah, I like your suggestion. I had a similar heading and it was too long. As Dolly says, I'm trying to cram 10 pounds of sugar in a 5 pound sack.
I like the first one - "Extending the garden season by months".
I like the first one better, but the second one has more keywords that people would search.
Thank you. That is what I wanted to know. I wrote the story in response to a request for help. So, I thought I would share it. But it benefits no one if they don't see or read my blindingly brilliant and astounding acumen.
Or follow Jodah's suggestion, I think it would work well.
I like the second one as the main title and the first one as a secondary subtitle within the article.
"Getting the most out of a raised bed garden" is much more descriptive, and would therefore be the one I'd personally click on. "Extending the garden season by months" refers to a potentially huge subject that may or may not involve raised beds, and that raises questions about growing zones and things like that -- i.e., I live in Wyoming, so the only way to extend the growing season by months is to have a well-insulated greenhouse.
If you want more, perhaps "Getting the most out of a raised garden bed: How to extend the garden season"
Thank you. I appreciate your comments and perspective. I am curious, what zone are you in? How long is your garden season.
US Zone 4 -- the outdoor season usually runs from sometime in May to about the end of October. We lost it at the beginning of October this year thanks to a freak snowstorm

Four Democrats and Lieberman voted with the Republicans. I have mixed feelings about this, according to the research I've done. It seems that "economy experts" are split on their views. Some argue that increasing taxes on the upper economic class will stifle jobs, while others say that...

To be honest, I don't watch much TV at all. I don't have time with work and kids, but all I know is he gave my family unemployment in time for Chrismas or my kids wouldn't be having a Chrismas and because of him I am getting 1,400 tax credit for buying a 14,000 home and more in taxes when I file.

"The $34 billion needed to extend benefits would be borrowed, adding to the nation's mounting debt. Republicans have tapped into the public's anger and concern over the national debt, saying they would support extending jobless benefits only if the bill was paid for.""Everyone agrees...
