Raised Bed Gardening
Gardening Basics, Landscaping & Design, Lawn and Garden, Video by Danny Lipford
More and more people are using raised beds in their gardens. The main advantage is you can completely control the quality of the soil you have to work with. It is suggested you scar the existing ground before you build a raised bed. This allows the bed to have new and old soil to work together. It’s best to have a bed at least 6″ tall to allow a sufficient amount of soil, but many people prefer 16″ to 20″ high so that you can sit on the edge of the bed while you are working with your plants. It is important to allow for adequate drainage.
