My Secret Weapon: Raised Beds for Happy Plants (and Gardeners!)

Published 4 months ago • 1 min read

​

Hi Garden Friend,

If you are dreaming of vegetable garden or a stunning flower display but limited on space or worried about soil quality? Then my top recommendation is to grow in raised beds! Honestly, it's the only way I will ever garden.

Why Raised Beds?

Raised beds offer a whole host of benefits, from better drainage and easier weed control to improved soil quality and extended growing seasons. Check out this article for a deeper dive into the 4 Major Benefits of Raised Bed Gardening.

Filling Your Raised Bed for Success

The foundation of a thriving raised bed is the soil you choose. This article on The Best Soil to Fill a Raised Bed Vegetable Garden will guide you on selecting the perfect mix for your plants to flourish.

Learning More About Raised Beds

Want to delve deeper into the world of raised bed gardening? I've got you covered! This list of The Best Books on Raised Bed Gardening for Beginners will equip you with all the knowledge you need to become a raised bed pro.

My Favorite Types of Raised Beds

For the DIY'er: Vego Modular Beds, Steel Garden Bed Kit, Earth Easy Cedar Bed Kits, or if you are handy with a saw and drill then Cedar Raised Beds or Farmhouse Style Raised Beds are great choices to build. If you really know your stuff, then building a Stone Raised Bed will last the test of time.

For full Turnkey (done for you): Cedar, Farmhouse, Stone, Custom Corten Steel, or Powder Coated Steel.

If you live in or near Austin, TX, Lettuce Grow Something custom builds all of the above! See our portfolio HERE.

​

Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, raised beds offer a fun and rewarding way to grow your favorite plants.

Happy gardening,

Crystal Jarvis
