Raised Beds
Save Your Back, Save Their Roots!
Raised beds are so simple and a great solution to many problems. With just a few boards, you can elevate your garden for these great benefits:
*Less Bending over
*You'll want to buy topsoil, meaning a more weed seed free medium to work with and no more annoying clay so common in this area
*Drier plant roots, no root rot due to plants sitting in garden puddles
*Less fruit loss as any fruit touching the ground will be touching drier soil.
*If beds are high enough, you can allow vining crops to trail over the sides instead of assembling a trellis.
On The Flip Side...
*Lifting watering cans, hoses and dirt up onto the raised bed.
*Less Access for tillers and equipment
*More focused on smaller gardens.
