Here are the steps to create a raised garden bed as shown in the image:
- Choose a Location:
Select a sunny and flat spot in your garden where plants can get sufficient sunlight.
- Prepare the Raised Bed:
Use a frame made of galvanized metal, wood, or any weather-resistant material. Assemble the frame using screws or nails as per the instructions.
- Add a Base Layer (Hügelkultur):
Place a layer of logs or large pieces of wood at the bottom of the bed. This layer helps improve drainage and provides organic material that decomposes over time to enrich the soil.
- Add Other Organic Materials:
Add layers of organic materials such as leaves, straw, plant debris, or cardboard. This helps improve soil quality.
5.Add Soil:
Fill the bed with nutrient-rich soil. You can use a mix of topsoil, compost, and peat moss to create an ideal growing medium.
- Protect the Edges:
Install protective edging on the top rim of the frame to prevent potential injuries from sharp edges.
- Level the Soil and Plant:
Level the soil inside the bed, and then plant the seeds or plants of your choice.
- Water and Maintain:
Water the plants regularly and monitor their growth. Add organic fertilizer as needed to keep the soil nutrient-rich.
A raised garden bed is an excellent option for improving gardening efficiency and making it easier to care for plants.
