A garden bed should be a hard surface on which to plant plants. It is important that it is easy to clean and hygienic, as this will help to ensure a healthy environment for the plants.
Select a container that will comfortably hold all of your plants. Drape the pot in a circular or oval pattern to ensure even watering and avoid direct sunlight on the plantsÂ’ leaves. Fill the pot with potting soil and tamp it down lightly. Plant your chosen plants, evenly spacing them around the pot. Water well and keep the soil moist but not wet.
Compost is a great way to fertilize plants growing in a raised garden bed. The compost will help to break down the organic matter and provide nutrients for the plants. You can also use organic fertilizer to supplement the compost, if desired.
Some plants that are good choices for a shady garden in hot climates include oleander, azaleas, camellias and hibiscus. Others that do well in a dry climate include junipers, pelicans and cacti. For a garden in a temperate climate, choose plants such as roses, lilies, willowherbs and ferns.
Raised bed gardening can save you time and hard work in the garden. By creating a raised bed, you create a level surface that is easy to work on. This eliminates the need to soil and water the garden ground multiple times daily, which can reduce your workload significantly. Additionally, raised bed gardens are often more efficient than traditional garden designs because they allow for better air and water circulation.
Gardening in a raised bed is very simple. All you need are some pots, pans or soil sacks and you're good to go.
