I am so excited to be able to get planting this spring using these corrugated beautiful garden boxes right here, so there's like a bunch of different options to choose from, we chose the white and these ones are 6 feet long, 3 feet wide right there and then 2 feet tall and I love that size, it was perfect to put them side by side in this, like little area that we have right here in our backyard, I love the corrugated look right here on, the outside of looks really really nice, also I've got two young kids ages two and three, there's no sharp edges, so all of this is super super smooth, by the way this was really really easy to put together and there's a bunch of options to choose from, like we got the two pack but you can get two four six or eight, you can choose different colors. Overall this is amazing, you could plant anything from succulents to vegetables, fruits, flowers you know whatever. It is that you want, you can do and I'm so excited to be able to do just that and I hope that you like these as much as I do. |

Top 10 Benefits of Raised Beds for Gardening.
Gardening in raised beds is a technique embraced by both novice and experienced gardeners alike. These elevated platforms offer many advantages over traditional in-ground planting. This article explores the 10 best benefits of raised beds for gardening:
1. Improved Accessibility
Raised beds make it easier to reach out to a larger number of potential gardeners, especially those confined by some form of physical handicap, like the elderly and wheelchair-bound. They are usually set up from 12 to 30 inches high and greatly reduce the amount of bending a person is required to do when gardening. This adaptation not only allows more people to participate in the pleasure of gardening but also significantly reduces the risk of back and knee injuries from the continual bending and stooping associated with traditional garden formats.
2. Soil Quality Management
One of the principal advantages that raised beds can introduce to garden management is in the area of soil quality. This will allow one to come up with a custom blend that can be added directly, bypassing the sometimes tedious modifying of poor native soil that might be too rocky, depleted, or heavy with clay. This means plants do not have to suffer at all stages but can thrive right from the beginning in nutrient-rich, balanced soil tailored to their needs. This instant control of the soil environment quickens planting and raises the chances of a successful garden because plants are given an ideal start.
3. Deterrent to Pests
Raised bed designs naturally repel many pests. The elevated soil itself makes it very hard for several pests that travel at ground level, like dogs, rabbits, and even groundhogs, to reach the plants. For smaller digging animals, such as a gopher or vole, gardeners can add a layer of hardware cloth under the bed. This mesh barrier prevents the pests from burrowing upwards into the garden and safeguards the roots of plants, ensuring that the integrity of the garden remains intact, without using harmful chemicals or cumbersome trapping systems.
4. Flexibility in Placement
They do, however, offer the most flexibility in siting, and so are especially well-suited for a location where one might not typically consider gardening. Whether over polluted soil, concrete with a hard finish, or bare rock, raised beds can be constructed and filled with a proper soil mix to create an effective gardening space. This is particularly true in cities, or land redeveloped from industrial sites known to be poisoned, or where the quality is otherwise too low for planting directly into the ground. With raised beds, a good quality growing medium can be brought to any location, hence removing constraints that may have been imposed by the environment.
5. Longer Growing Season
The construction of the raised bed confers high thermal benefits that extend the growing period. Because raised beds have full sun and air circulation to their soil, it warms up faster in spring and retains that warmth longer into the fall. This can add weeks onto the period of warmth, promoting faster seed germination and lengthening the growing season of the plants long enough that some will produce more than one crop within one season. This would come in particularly handy in areas of cooler climates, which could get an extra jump on spring and extend harvest periods until the first frost.
