Raised garden beds, also called vegetable garden planter boxes or flower beds, are great for growing small plots of veggies and flowers. They keep pathway weeds from your garden soil, prevent soil compaction, provide good drainage and serve as a barrier to pests.
How to Build a Raised Garden Bed
Building elevated beds for your vegetable garden is simpler than it looks. Rather than the wood, you can also use corrugated metal raised garden beds for proper look of your garden and for long-lasting garden beds. And to build a raised garden bed, you’ll need to decide what kind of wood to use, how tall you want the bed to be, and whether you want to build the entire bed yourself or use pre-made corner braces. These simplify the construction process and provide a secure corner that won’t loosen over time. You can also use concrete blocks or other materials for your beds.
You can also buy raised flower beds and other different types of garden beds from Vego garden at an effective price. Mostly they have many raised flower beds for sale.
The Best Soil for Raised Garden Beds
One of the benefits of raised bed gardening is drainage, but this feature also makes the soil requirements of your garden box a little different. You can fill your beds with your own yard topsoil, but if you want to give your plants the best chance, it’s a good idea to start fresh since you have an opportunity to prevent weeds.
How to Irrigate Raised Garden Beds
Types of Irrigation
There are many ways to water a raised bed. Each one has a variety of pros and cons.
- Drip Irrigation
A network of hoses with emitters or holes that allow water to drip out slowly.
- Soaker Hose
A porous hose that leaks or soaks water out along its entire length.
- Sprinkler
A device with holes hooked to the end of a hose that sprays water through the air.
- Hand Watering
Watering with a sprayer or other nozzle by hand.
Conclusion
Raised garden beds are available in a variety of different materials, or they can be made with relative ease. By raising the soil level, raised garden beds also reduce back strain when bending over to tend the bed. This is especially helpful for older gardeners or people with bad backs.
