There are many reasons to learn how to build a raised garden bed. Raised garden beds allow gardeners to simply bypass many of the common challenges they face with traditional garden beds. A raised garden bed holds the perfect soil for the plant that is growing in it. The raised beds soak up sunshine and help to retain the warmth, which allows for a much longer growing season than in traditional garden beds. Another benefit of a raised garden bed is the use of retaining walls to control erosion. The raised beds are also built to provide the perfect amount of drainage for the crops that are growing in them. Raised garden beds allow plants to be grown much more closely together than in retaining walls tauranga, which both increases yield and decreases the chances of weeds gaining a foothold.
Also, raising the beds up makes many of the tasks that gardeners need to do with the crops much easier. Decreasing the bending necessary to plant, weed and harvest is great for gardeners' backs and joints. With all of the amazing benefits that a raised garden bed offers, it is imperative that gardeners build raised beds in their gardens. It is surprisingly easy and can be done by gardeners of all skill levels, including gardening novices, in just a few simple steps. The well raised retaining walls tauranga can be built with many different dimensions.
The length of the bed is a matter of personal preference, and is really only limited by the space available in the garden. However, the depth and width of a raised garden bed need to be within certain dimensions in order to be manageable. The depth should be somewhere depending on how much soil is available. Any higher than that and the amount of soil needed gets to be a little excessive. The width of the raised bed should be three feet. This is the best width to make it easy to work on the plants in the beds. The retaining walls tauranga should also have space between each other in order to move between them. Build a Wall After the dimensions of the beds are plotted out, the walls need to be constructed. This can be built with any material that will not rot. Stone, brick and non-rotting lumber like cedar are popular choices for wall materials.
Once the walls are constructed, they need to be filled with the proper soil. Make a mix tailored to the best conditions for the plant that will be growing in the bed. Always remember to add some compost to the soil. Gravel, lava rock or something similar should be added to the mix to promote drainage. Try and level off the soil as evenly as possible after the bed is filled. Be sure to till the soil and to add nutrients to raised garden beds between growing seasons. Compost will help to keep the soil rich and full of nutrients. Earthworms are another nice idea. The important thing is to add nutrients to keep the soil healthy and rich. Also be sure to always provide ample water to raised garden beds, because the added warmth of the heat-retaining properties makes them dry out quickly with retaining walls tauranga.
