5 Methods for Making Raised Garden Beds

Raised beds have become more and more popular as the grow your own food movement gathers numbers. They are simple to make, easy to tend and offer several advantages over tilling the ground.

These types of garden beds are great for urban and suburban gardening. They can actually be constructed atop concrete, making them ideal for abandoned lot and rooftop gardens, or when done on the ground, they don’t require tilling the earth, which unleashes weed seeds and destroys soil microorganisms. They also have neat, maintained appearance to keep neighbors appeased.
