Gardener and author CaliKim joins us from southern California to talk about growing vegetables in raised beds.
Grow Vegetables in Raised Beds
Raised beds can have a number of advantages:
- Soil warms more quickly in spring
- Less back and knee strain
- A solution for locations with less-than-ideal soil
How to Make Raised Bed Gardens
CaliKim says that raised bed gardens don’t have to be a box or a square. “Think outside the box,” she advises.
A raised bed garden can be tailored to the yard and to the gardener. That could mean:
- A shape suited to the location
- Choosing materials that tie in to the style of the garden
- A mobile unit to be place wherever there is available sunlight
