Top Ten Reasons To Get A Raised Garden Bed Kit

By Andy Vorenberg


Let us begin with how using a raised garden bed kit is worth the time and effort. Many love to spend time outside in the gardening, for other people it suggests hard work. A garden can be such a bountiful pleasure of colors and shapes and sizes that although you may aren't keen on all aspects of growing plants, you are always drawn to growing your very own plants.

Obviously I like spending as much time as is practical in my garden, or else I wouldn't be moved to prepare this. I have to acknowledge that I never expend enough time planting flowers, however I actually love to look at a flower garden flowering. A Few Things I genuinely like is raising my very own veges, they taste great when plucked fresh from your personal home garden.

Considering that we all reading this article will undoubtedly be located in totally different regions throughout the world, I can't offer specific advice about planting particular varieties of veggies in this article. But I should tell you that I manage to grow the majority of the vegetables my family eats in my home garden. But for a true gardener no garden is ever big enough as you are always finding new vegetables to grow.

Let's start with asking do we even need a raised garden bed for our vegetables? After all, many people just grow vegetables on any piece of open ground. When you see the abundance of crops your raised beds will give you, you will know why they are so popular.

There are two factors that attract people to using raised bed kits:

1. You get more and healthier crops with raised beds.

2. Buying a kit saves you a lot of work

There are also plenty or other reasons why people like to use raised beds.

1.Because vegetables grown in raised gardens are typically grown closer together than they are in conventional gardens, the growth of weeds is drastically reduced.

2.With the vegetables planted closer together there is more shade for the soil and so less water evaporates, meaning you don't have to water your garden as much.

3.With increased water retention and fewer weeds, the growing season is extended.

4.There is better aeration and drainage in the soil because you are not walking over the garden as you work on it.

5.Raised beds give you more crops.

6.Raised beds can be built at a height to suit anyone, allowing older and those with less mobility to enjoy gardening.

7.Because it's a kit you don't have to renovate your backyard, simply assemble and get growing.

8.Many of the readymade raised garden bed kits are designed in such a way so that additional kits can be purchased and added on as and when necessary.

9.For those with limited space and experience raised bed kits are a great way to get started.

10.Many readymade kits are built to last, which means that they can be reused several times before a replacement is necessary.

11.A readymade raised garden bed kit simply makes life a whole lot easier.

But if you want to grow only a handful of plants then it's probably better for you to grow in pots rather than a raised bed. But if you want to grow more and for longer then get a raised bed.

If you lack experience then start with growing some vegetables that are known to be easier to grow. You don't need to start off with strange and flash vegetables, they will demand too much of you in the beginning. Within a short time you can be growing plenty of fresh vegetables.
