Planning your raised bed: location, size, and materials
Before you start building, a little planning goes a long way.
Location: Choose a spot that receives at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. Ensure it’ s level and has easy access to a water source.
Size: A width of 1.2m is ideal, as it allows you to reach the centre from either side without stepping on the soil. The length is up to you and your available space. A height of 30- 45cm is excellent for most vegetables and flowers, providing ample root depth.
Materials: Wood is a popular and attractive choice for raised beds, offering a warm, natural look that blends beautifully into any garden. Treated timber provides strength and stability, helping your bed withstand the pressure of damp soil while maintaining its rustic charm.
