Raised Bed Gardening
Have you tried gardening but with little success? Don’t give up yet. You need to try raised bed gardening first. Raised bed gardening is easy!
Raised bed gardening is planting vegetables or fruits in small plots. Typically the plots are rectangular but really the sky is the limit when you consider the shapes you can create.
Gardening in raised beds has many benefits. Some of the benefits include less soil compaction, better soil drainage, higher yields of food crops, expanded growing season, and easy maintenance. And a raised bed can be a really attractive addition to your landscape.
Building a raised bed is easy. You can build a 3’ x 4’ rectangular box out of any variety of materials. How to videos and instructions are easy to find on the internet. Fill the box with top-soil and organic matter. Plant your seeds, water with a soaker hose, and watch your garden grow!
