What is Raised Gardening?

Raised Gardening is exactly as it sounds. Your gardening area is raised.

Why Raised Gardening?

There are many benefits to raised gardening. We have listed some of these benefits below:

• Raised gardens provide easy, compact, highly productive gardening areas with no need for sore back and knees
• Greatly reduced soil compaction. In a regular garden you can’t avoid stepping in the garden bed. A properly designed raised garden allows you to do all your gardening from the outside of the raised garden with ease
• Your plants can be spaced closer together because you don’t need to allow the room for walking. In return this will increase the productivity per square foot
• Raised beds tend to drain away excess moisture better than ordinary garden beds
• Soil conditions and types can be controlled more efficiently in a raised bed

Advantages for You to Raised Gardening

• Raised garden beds bring your garden closer to you.
• Do your gardening from the comfort of the garden path. No more bending over to pull weeds
• Raised beds can extend your gardening season. Depending on your location they tend to warm up a little sooner in the spring and remain productive later in the fall
