How to DESIGN a RAISED BED GARDEN: 10 SIMPLE STEPS

Raised-bed gardens are a popular option for starting a garden. Correct raised-bed garden design helps maximize the productivity of the available space. A well-designed raised-bed garden also adds beauty to your yard.

Gardening with raised beds has several advantages:
• The soil mix you fill the beds with ensures the best growing conditions for gardening from the beginning, rather than having to deal with existing soil issues such as rocky or compacted soil.
• Drainage issues improve because the growing surface is above the ground level and water drains out easily.
• Raised beds warm-up earlier in the spring, allowing you to get a jump on planting.

Hi, im from philippines, im starting a garden, thanks for sharing about planning raised beds

[fldesigner]

Great info. Thanks for sharing!
Wish I'd seen this before I laid out my beds. I'm in Florida where we can garden year round. I didn't take into account the change in the sun's position in the sky and my winter crops in the south end of my garden are being shaded by my house (bed is too close to North side of my house). It's not an issue in the summer. Will have to adjust what I plant in the south end next year. Always learning!

Great tips, vertical gardening is really what is missing in my garden. But it‘s something I‘ll work on in the future. Thanks for sharing💚

[jeannechin]

Thank you. You are such a good teacher!

[dsbennett]

Thank you. I like the idea of a structure arching overhead between two beds. Seems to me such structures need to be easily moved to facilitate crop rotation.

That’s what I will do but I’m recycling my old wooden fence and can I paint the outside of the wood? Will the paint get into my plants I’m planting flowers and some herbs on a 8’x3’x12” I don’t have enough room and I’m putting it on the south side of my house on the lawn but will put some cardboards under then put some branches to minimize my soil 😊👍 thank you for the video it’s so informative and I’m learning a lot ♥️♥️♥️
