Why Grow in a Raised Bed?

1. Longer growing season. Compared to in-ground beds, raised bed soil warms AND drains faster in the spring, so gardeners get a few extra weeks of growing.

2. Better soil. It's easy to amend the soil to meet your particular growing needs.

3. Bigger harvests. Intensive planting and vertical supports lead to a more productive garden.

4. No competition. A defined growing space means weeds, pets, and kids stay out of the garden!

5. Healthier soil. Since it's not being compacted by foot traffic, soil stays fluffy and aerated.

6. Easy access. Elevated raised beds and planters bring the garden right up to you; no bending needed. 

7. Garden anywhere. The HUGE range of raised bed materials, styles, and sizes means you can grow anywhere — over heavy clay soils, in front of the ugly fence, or right on the deck.

8. Plant protection. Row fabrics, covers, and cloches protect your plants from pests and weather, and are incredibly easy to install on a raised bed.
