A raised garden bed solves many problems associated with typical gardens. Whether your reason for choosing a raised bed style is because of poor soil, lack of space, or simply to avoid weeds, you’ll need a few more supplies and a different approach to build your new garden. This complete guide will help you gather the right supplies, build a quality frame, and learn exactly how to make a raised garden bed.<\/p>\n

Choosing the Best Location for Your Raised Garden Bed<\/h2>\n

The location of your raised garden bed will be determined by the details of your landscape, the size of your garden, and what you plan to grow. Many flowers, vegetables, and herbs require several hours of sunlight every day. However, if you hope to build a garden to decorate a shady spot on your landscape, the right plants will thrive there, too.<\/p>\n

If you’re changing your entire landscape<\/a>, you’ll be starting with a clean slate and can make your garden location a priority. Most often, a garden is built into an existing scheme, making your choices more limited. Before you commit yourself to a certain space, take the time to learn everything you can about the plants you intend to put in your garden. When you’re satisfied with the spot, get out your measuring tape to plan the size and details of how to make your raised garden bed.<\/p>\n

Can you build a raised garden bed on a slope?<\/h3>\n

Yes. Although it’s easier to build your garden on flat ground, raised garden beds can be created on an incline, as well.<\/p>\n

Learning how to make a raised garden bed on an incline simply requires a little creative thinking and a little extra elbow grease. Raised beds on sloping ground are typically created in a “retaining wall” style to create level beds that step down the hillside. They are often more narrow, step down in tiers, and can be very attractive. Your choice of plants won’t be limited in these beds, but ground prep might take a little more effort. You’ll also need extra supplies if you plan to create multiple beds.<\/p>\n
