Drill and drill bits (if you have one available, it’s faster to use one drill for pre-drilling, then an impact driver for driving all the screws… they’re often sold together in combo kits so if you don’t have these, I highly recommend them!) Thanks to their easy maintenance and hassle-free harvesting, pyramid raised beds are an excellent choice for gardeners short of time. Try filling each tier with your favourite herbs. Most perennial herbs have shallow root systems so suit this style of raised bed perfectly. Waist high raised beds are easier to tend to than those lower to the floor, especially for senior users or those with mobility issues. You can either stand or sit while pruning, weeding, watering and harvesting. You can make these longer if you have to concern yourself with frost or whatever (in Georgia that’s not really a thing I think much about), but I know my friend Kit from DIY Diva cuts hers to 19 inches and lives in freezing cold Michigan, if that helps! Supplies: 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.

Having worked on many successful landscaping projects with Property Developers and Landscape Architects across the UK and Europe, we know you can specify WoodBlocX in the knowledge that our system will match the most exacting standards. Potting mix is a man-made material composed of natural substances, including decomposing bark, peat moss, minerals, and perlite. The main difference between garden soil and potting soil is the addition of topsoil, which makes garden soil heavier. Raised bed soil is a specific mixture of soil formulated for raised garden beds, containing the ideal balance between potting soil and garden soil. Potting mix is too light to be used in raised beds, while garden soil is too heavy. Raised bed soil possesses amazing drainage properties and provides gardeners with well-maintained loose soil that establishes a favorable environment for your plants.

There are also onions and carrots that have just recently started popping up, so there will be lots of new pics for the next garden update. WoodBlocX designs are versatile allowing you to add your personal touch to the shape and height and size of your kit whether it be a pond, edging or raised bed. With our bespoke service you can incorporate curves, angles and layers into any planter or raised bed design to create a unique, practical and sleek feature for your garden. Width- Raised beds around 3 to 4 feet wide provide the most growing space while still allowing access to the center of the bed. Narrower raised beds, 1.5 to 2 feet wide, are useful for along fences and the sides of houses, or wherever access is limited to one side. They didn't include paper instructions weirdly using Covid 19 as an excuse not to do so. I had to print mine out and ran out of ink in my printer while doing so. Very inconvenient at the weekend. The beauty of raised beds is that they can be placed anywhere, and even those with smaller outdoor spaces can enjoy a raised bed. Herb gardens can add a fresh look to any patio or seating area, while it’s easy to nab a few sprigs of rosemary or basil for your meals.

Secondly the holes underneath the top pieces were drilled out badly and for the end two holes, incorrectly! The end two holes in each top piece don't take into account the the base of the plug that sits on top of the metal brace leaving a small gap. Why are these not drilled out correctly, it makes the whole thing look odd. These L-shaped raised beds fit perfectly in the corner of a yard, or arranged in pairs to enclose an area of your garden.

Excellent in that I could have any size I wanted (I was trying to source a gardening zone for my disabled wife).
