π± Why Raised Beds Are Amazing
- Better Soil Control: Fill them with nutrient-rich soil for faster growth and healthier plants.
- Improved Drainage: Prevents waterlogging and root rot, keeping plants happy.
- Fewer Weeds: The elevated height limits unwanted weed invasion.
- Less Bending: Great for your back β no need to kneel or stoop for hours!
- Extended Growing Season: Soil in raised beds warms up faster in spring.
πͺ΅ Tips for Building and Maintaining
- Use untreated, rot-resistant wood like cedar or pine for longevity.
- Line the bottom with landscape fabric to prevent weeds while maintaining drainage.
- Fill with a mix of garden soil, compost, and organic matter (50/30/20 ratio).
- Add a trellis or vertical frame (like in the photo) for climbing plants such as cucumbers, beans, or tomatoes.
- Water regularly and mulch the surface to retain moisture.
