Product Information

Keep in Mind: You’ll have to replace the liners every couple of years, and it’s recommended to reapply a food-safe preservative to the wood every year. Two-tier raised beds are more space-efficient than regular raised beds, and they also offer a key advantage when it comes to planting. In regular raised beds, taller plants can stop sunlight from reaching the smaller plants, leading to stunted growth. Two-tier beds allow you to grow taller plants on the lower tier, and smaller plants at the top. Lettuce and spinach are also a good and easy choice to plant. They love raised beds, as they need soil that’s not too wet.

There’s drainage holes in the legs of this planter, but it can be used without the legs if needed. Weighing just 2 kg, it’s easy to move to a sunny spot, even once filled with soil. Gardening can be time consuming and if you’re wanting to make it that little bit easier, a self-watering raised garden bed is worth considering. This style of bed is perfect for those who spend a lot of time away, and means you don’t need to lug heavy watering cans around with you! Divide different sections of your garden such as the patio and lawn by using raised beds. Creating zones in your garden can make the space appear bigger, while also screening certain areas from overlooking neighbours. Most greenhouses are organized with shelves, and raised beds might be a little less common. In our opinion, a combination of both will allow you to optimally use the available space. When you just use shelves, you have the option to move your crops around, but they won’t receive an equal amount of light. In a raised bed, you create a very constant condition for all plants, which will have a positive effect on their growth. When your greenhouse is large enough, you can put shelves on the sides (or on one side) and place one or two raised beds in the middle of your greenhouse. Make sure you have plenty of room to move around though! Hoop houses: What are they? A: You can cover it with leaves, or a greenhouse cover that has greenhouse plastic or frost cloth over it. This could be the entire bed or just part of one.When growing edible produce in a raised planter, it’s important that there’s no harmful chemicals on the bed material which could leach into the soil. This planter has been treated with a food-safe preservative so you can plant herbs and veggies with no concerns. While this means there’s no need for a liner, there is one included, which can help elongate the lifespan of the wood. A cold frame is the fancier raised garden bed greenhouse that requires some woodworking skills (or a fat wallet). They’re attached to the above-ground beds, often on hinges, making them a permanent part of the garden. A cold frame is used year-round and is easily opened up as needed to water your bed with a garden hose or for other reasons. Also, they’re usually the prettier option with a neat, box design. You’ve got a huge amount of choice when it comes to the material of your raised bed, and each material has unique advantages.

Metal is another good choice. Metal is easy to maintain and durable provided it’s been treated against rust. Galvanised metal can last up to 30 years. Metal has the added benefit of insulating the soil, which can allow you to start planting earlier. As you can see in the photo above I have made my raised beds three gravel boards deep in my greenhouse. These boards are 150mm deep each, so a total depth of 450mm. Why You Should Get It: It comes with a cover to keep plants warm in the winter as well as a cover to protect plants from insects during the summer. Made from 100% recycled materials, this raised bed is ideal for those looking to shop sustainably. It’s very durable, requiring no maintenance once installed, and it can be left out in all weathers. This raised garden bed does need to be put together, but it’s simply a matter of assembling the pieces and tightening the included fasteners.Watch weather forecasts and be prepared to protect young plants with fleece on frosty nights or provide supplementary heating when needed These beds can also be reused for multiple gardening seasons, which makes the low price even more of a bargain. The self-watering system is simple to set up and install, and it’s easy to add water later via two fill tubes. The reservoir can hold 20 gallons of water in total, thanks to two pairs of connected 5-gallon reservoirs. Why You Should Get It: This raised garden bed can be easily moved, and it has a shelf for storage and holes for drainage.

Keep in Mind: These beds are too shallow for some deep-rooted plants, so they may not accommodate every plant you want to add to your garden. Large Glasshouses can help you to make the most of the space available to you in the largest of gardens, where you have a good amount of room to devote to indoor planting and temperature control while still leaving a sizeable outdoor area. Finally, think about the depth. The optimum depth depends on what you are growing and the surface your raised bed will be placed on. Most vegetables won’t require more than 40 cm, while herbs require less.If you’re strategic with your garden planning, you can use raised beds to conceal unsightly areas! Use a raised planter to section off the area where your wheelie bin is stored, or go for taller raised beds to conceal an ugly garden fence. Want to make gardening easier and give your growing space a neat and unified look? Raised garden beds can help you with that. A self-watering feature combined with a durable metal bed creates a practical raised bed that will add a modern, industrial style look to your growing space. If you’ve not got a huge garden, creating curved beds can help give the illusion of more space. Go the extra mile as in the image above and opt for a two-tiered curved garden bed. That’s almost double the planting space! With a generous depth of 17 inches, you can grow pretty much anything in this bed—even plants with deep roots. Plus, you don’t have to bend down as far when you are weeding or working in the garden.
