Why a raised bed? The most important advantages
Raised beds are versatile in any garden and offer numerous advantages for hobby gardeners and plant lovers:
- Ergonomic gardening: the comfortable height eliminates the need to constantly bend down. Your knees and back are spared, which makes gardening much more comfortable.
- Optimal conditions for plants: Raised beds allow perfect aeration of the soil and create ideal growing conditions for vegetables, herbs and flowers.
- Increased yields: The combination of good aeration and nutrient-rich soil leads to higher yields when growing vegetables.
- Protection against pests: Snails and other soil dwellers find it more difficult to reach the plants in the raised bed.
- Fewer weeds: The raised bed offers less surface area for weed growth, which minimizes the amount of maintenance required.
Whether for planting vegetables, herbs or flowers - a raised bed creates space, structure and beauty in your garden.
