Soil Quality. When filling your raised gardens, our team will use a high quality soil that improves drainage and increases yield. When having a raised garden it will help prevent soil compaction, erosion, and pH issues as the soil will be amended yearly. If you are growing plants that need more water, the a soil that helps with water retention can be utilized as well.
Early Kickoff of Growing Season. When using raised beds, they tend to warm up faster in the Spring than the ground, which will allow earlier planting dates. Be sure to keep an eye on the frost nights though to cover your plants with a frost cloth!
Pest Control. While it is still possible to have pest problems, a raised bed is lifted off the ground so it does help battle some issues with pest that live in the ground that could easier damage your plants when not lifted from the direct ground.
Disease and Rot. The extra protection provided by raised beds can help crops become less susceptible to disease, root rot, or infestations.
Maintenance. Who likes pulling weeds out of the garden? No one! Raised beds can be easier to maintain because the plants are grown in a confined space and help eliminate weeds by not allowing much space for them to peak through!
Accessibility. Raised beds are more accessible than bending down on the ground to garden. Grab a small stool and get to work!
Save on Space. You can make your raised beds to fit in the area that you are wanting to garden and save space! You could utilize the extra space to grow more crops, toss in some sunflowers to enjoy, or a nice table with chairs to watch your plants grow!
Appearance. A raised bed garden looks neat and tidy even when it has no plants actively growing in it! No more needing to till the soil with the other fashion tiller and having tools tossed everywhere! Keep it neat and clean with a new raised bed!
