Raised Garden Beds

I used to maintain a raised bed for my fall vegetable garden as a season-extending tool. With a raised bed, gardening hassles such as weeds, pests, and insects are limited.

But looking at these design ideas, it's surprising how raised bed gardens can actually make a great garden decoration even in the front yard. With careful planning and some helpful design ideas as I have listed here, a great raised bed garden for yard decoration is possible.

Make no more excuses for growing a few vegetables. You can grow your own food with a raised bed by growing a different plant every square foot. Small space is neither an issue with a raised bed garden.

However, make sure plants have sufficient space to maintain healthy growth.

Garden supply and construction stores have pre-formatted stone blocks you can easily install into planters, wall retainers, or raised bed gardens.
