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.

Hanging out in my garden is truly one of my best delights, that's why I am writing this article. Though I really do appreciate the wonder of a flower garden, I do not center on growing flowers too much. My main love however, continues to be in the position to cultivate my own herbs and vegetables.

At this point, it may be impossible for me to give specific assistance with growing all the things I grow simply because a lot of subscribers will obviously be living in another location. But I should tell you that I manage to grow the majority of the vegetables my family eats in my home garden. Of course I could always do with a bigger garden, there's always more to grow.

Why do you even need raised beds in the first place? We could just plant our vegetables where we have some flat area on our property. But once you try raised beds, you'll get so many vegetables that you won't go back.

I know the title of this article mentions "10 reasons" to use a raised garden bed kit, but in all honesty there are only two reasons:

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

2. Buying a kit saves you a lot of work

But there are also supporting factors as to why they are so popular.

1.There are less weeds because you can plant your vegetables more intensively, giving the weeds less space to grow.

2.Raised gardens are generally densely populated, which means the soil is not exposed to as much direct sunlight, which in turn means less watering is required.

3.You can grow for longer through the year as the plants last longer without competition from weeds and more moisture in the soil.

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.Because they are higher off the ground people who cannot move so freely, such as elderly or disabled gardeners can get back out into the garden.

7.You can save the structure of your property by assembling a raised garden kit as you don't have to dig up or build a new permanent structure in your garden.

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.A readymade kit is ideal for beginners or those who only have a limited amount of time to spare.

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.

Fantastic......I did managed to list ten reasons why this is a route you might want to consider. In fact, I mentioned eleven valid reasons. In all seriousness however; if you only want to grow a few different herbs and spices, then you'll probably find a few plant pots are all that you require. Otherwise go for a raised bed and enjoy more vegetables for longer throughout the year.

If you lack experience then start with growing some vegetables that are known to be easier to grow. Starting out with exotic varieties will be too taxing and it's good to see early results from your gardening efforts. A good crop can be grown with little time and work.
