Raised garden beds are ideal for the family to grow your own vegetables or other plants and there are many benefits in using them including
- extending the planting season significantly as the beds will warm faster and hold the warmth

- allowing better drainage

- as the gardener doesn’t walk on the garden bed, the soil doesn’t become compacted

- the soil will remain light and loose allowing it to hold more air helping the vegetable roots to grow with less effort

- ability to reduce the number of weeds

- if using close plant spacing your raised vegetable garden bed will create a micro-climate which will contain moisture and further discourage weeds.

Fill with compost, mulch, good soil and fertiliser mix.

If you are looking for a raised garden bed or planter box see Out of the Woods Woodshop on Neighbourley
