raised bed gardening
Raised bed gardening involves creating a garden bed that sits above ground level, typically enclosed by wooden, brick, or stone sides. These beds provide better soil drainage, reduce soil compaction, and allow for improved soil quality since you can fill them with premium soil. They also warm up faster in spring, extending the growing season, and are easier to access for planting, weeding, and harvest, reducing strain. Raised beds are ideal for optimizing small spaces, controlling soil conditions, and managing pests, making gardening more efficient and accessible for both beginners and experienced gardeners.
