Raised beds offer several benefits for vegetables, including increased drainage and nutrient uptake. This combination creates an environment that is conducive to healthy growth and yields. Raised beds can be built using a variety of materials, including bricks, blocks, gravel, or sod. Some growers recommend a mix of materials to achieve the best results. Generally, vegetable gardens should have good drainage to prevent waterlogging and to allow the plants to absorb nutrients from the soil. A raised bed will help improve drainage by creating a higher surface area for water to flow away from the plants. Additionally, the raised bed will help retain moisture in the soil, which is especially beneficial for root crops such as carrots and beets. Raised beds also provide an ideal environment for temperature regulation. Warm colors (such as red) are preferred in warmer climates, while cool colors (such as blue) are favored in colder climates. By adding some element of height, like a raised bed, you can control even more variables important to plant growth such as light exposure and air circulation.
Sometimes, it is helpful to mix different colors and textures together in a garden. This can create a more interesting landscape, and the plants that are chosen should be complementary in color and texture. Some good combinations to try are contrasting colors such as yellow and red, soft textures like satin or velvet, and rough surfaces like bark or sandpaper.
