Why Raised Garden Beds
We built raised beds for our vegetable garden and like them. My husband made them tall, so it is easier to work with the plants. The drainage is very good. It is much easier to control weeds. My plants are happy.
love your planting beds!
They drain better, they warm quicker in the sun, and they if they are tall enough to sit on they save the back and knees.
Yes, I agree with all. I just wanted to emphasize the ease of weeding. You are much more likely to pull a couple of weeds at waist level then to bend down and pull them, trust me. Actual planting and caring for your plants is also easier then getting down on your knees. Happy Gardening!
Keeps the rabbits out. Can't think of a disadvantage.
Yea, so far no one has offered disadvantages.
