A raised bed garden is essential for anyone who wants to create a more complex agricultural system designed to be more space-efficient and to produce the most yields. It is a proven, tried, and tested method for raising production level and quality, allow gardening efficiency in small spaces, and it even saves time and money. It even allows itself to be more efficient for using soil known for being difficult to work with, such as clay.
Traditional gardeners have been making use of raised beds to grow their vegetables for many years. They would double dig the beds, creating circular or rectangular mounds a foot or so high with the sloping edges on the sides of the beds. This is especially effective in areas that receive lots of rain since it guarantees good drainage. Additionally, it allows a bit more space to grow your veggies.
Typically, experienced gardeners are the ones partial to this gardening method. They do this as a way to avoid the numerous challenges surrounding seasonal gardening. But this doesn't mean novice gardeners should not attempt to employ this gardening technique as they make their way into the wonderful world of gardening.
Because raised bed gardening is usually used to grow edible plants, be very careful of the kind of materials you use. For instance, if you use wood that has been treated with toxins or railroad ties, this might seep its way into your vegetables and herbs. Instead, experienced gardeners use cedar wood or eco-friendly lumber.

There is nothing like looking over a well-tended garden filled with row upon row of beautiful shades of green foliage, colorful blooms, or lush, healthy vegetables. However, it can take years of hard work, toiling away to achieve this picture I just painted. While some gardeners love spending hours in their gardens, mixing soil, tilling it, watering, and weeding, not everyone has that much time on their hands or the inclination to spend so much of their free time on gardening.
The answer is a raised bed vegetable garden. Not only do raise beds make vegetable gardening less of a chore, but it is also a lot easier. You can grow more plants in raised beds than in the same sized area on the ground. The beds are higher, so no more backbreaking work or kneeling down between rows to do the weeding or harvesting. Raised beds are very convenient; if you spread mulch along the paths between your beds, you can quickly run out while you are cooking to cut a handful of herbs without getting your shoes muddy or dirty.
Raised beds are attractive landscape features. They make your garden look neat and tidy, and you can even dress them up with details like corner posts or paint them to match the color of your garden furniture.
