Raised Garden Beds offer many benefits: Here are our Top 10
- Weed Control. Easy to access for weed pulling. Plus, since you will be in control of the soil in the bed the weeds will pull out quite easy.
- Pest Control. The height can keep many animals out of the bed, but burrowing animals can be prevented by placing a screen on the bottom.
- Better Soil. You have total control over the type of soil that goes into the bed.
- Portability. Moving into a new home, or don't like where you placed the raised bed, you can move it.
- Higher Yields. Because you have more control over the conditions, like fewer pests and better soil, it tends to create better yields.
- Accessibility. For some people this might be the number 1 reason. Easy to pick, easy to weed, easy to maintain.
- Adaptability. Put it any where you want. Raised beds don't depend on the soil that is underneath them.
- Efficiency. Provides efficient use of your seeds
- Longer Growing Season. The soil in a raised bed will warm quicker than in the ground, plus it is easier to cover in the fall and prevent that first frost from killing everything.
- Organization. They always look neat and tidy, with very little effort.
