Raised Beds
Raised beds are a great way of growing a wide range of plants, and are particularly popular for growing fruit and vegetables. They are a good way of boosting drainage and can be used to introduce a different soil type to your garden. Raised beds are also a useful way to garden if you have restricted mobility, as they reduce the need to bend.
A raised bed, by definition, is a garden bed that is built up instead of down, into a position that solves all manner of gardening challenges. You can create raised beds simply by heaping soil up into a pile, or by using boxes to enclose and contain garden soil. Garden boxes are often synonymous with raised beds because some retaining wall or material almost always must be used in order to maintain the integrity of the bed over time.
- A raised bed is really a way of setting up your soil for the easiest possible gardening—the ‘no work’ kind. Instead of tilling up the soil from year to year to add fertiliser and amendments, gardeners usually maintain their raised beds by simply adding materials on top.
- This may seem like pure vanity but having nicer beds can have a practical purpose. In the city, especially if you are trying to get away with a front yard vegetable garden, a raised bed could be a necessity for keeping neighbours happy. Raised beds also make pathways just a little bit easier to maintain because there’s a definitive line between the bed and the path.
- Raised beds provide an easy way to start gardening by removing many barriers for beginners. They take a little bit more investment up front, but in many ways guarantee success in the first year. Add a box, some soil, some compost, some seeds, some water, and something will grow./li>
