A raised bed can be used to grow a wide variety of plants, from flowers to vegetables.

A raised bed can be a great way to garden if you have a lot of space. Most raised beds are about 72 inches wide, and 36 inches deep. This size is good for vegetable gardens, but may not be enough space for flowers. You can also make a raised bed into a mushroom bed by adding logs or other objects to the sides. To make a raised bed, start by digging a hole about 72 inches wide and 36 inches deep. Add layers of compost, then top it with fresh soil. Water the soil well and plant your favorite plants in the trench. Be sure to space the plants evenly so that they don't crowd each other. As the plants grow, you can reduce the amount of soil in the trench, or add more compost to help keep the mound stable.

Use markers on stakes to determine when the vegetables are tall enough to harvest.
