Why Raised Beds

There are many advantages to growing vegetables in raised beds

HIGHER YIELDS: 1.25 lbs. veggies per sq. ft. vs. 0.6

lbs. when grown in the ground.

IMPROVED SOIL CONDITIONS: No compaction of soil

means more water, air and space for roots.

WATER CONSERVATION: No wasted water run-off –

every drop stays in the bed for the plants.

EARLIER START: Raised beds warm up earlier in

the spring, so you can start your plants right at the

perfect time, no waiting for the cold, wet ground to

warm up.

EASIER TO WORK IN: Softer soil, closer-spaced

plants mean fewer weeds, what weeds do manage

to germinate are much easier to pull.

TALL RAISED-LEG BEDS MEAN LITTLE OR NO STOOPING:

Perfect for seniors and anyone else who would

rather not bend and stoop. Can be wheel-chair

accessible.

LONG-LASTING: Raised beds made from cedar and

pressure-treated lumbers will last 25+ years.
