Raised Beds

If you’re looking to level up your garden’s productivity, raised beds are the way to go. They not only help with organising your garden and crop rotation, but also give you more control over soil quality and organic pest management. For the best results, fill your raised beds with a blend of premium soil, nutrient-rich compost, and a layer of mulch. This combination will supercharge plant health and boost your harvest. For more guidance, see our FAQs below.

What’s the best raised bed for patios?

For patios, a metal raised modular planter or a wooden raised garden bed is ideal. Both are designed to fit neatly on hard surfaces while offering enough depth for your plants to thrive. Simply use a suitable liner and add a 10-20mm layer of gravel to aid drainage. Both options are super easy to move, giving you flexibility and convenience.

What’s the best raised bed for vegetables?

When it comes to growing vegetables, you’ll want a raised bed with enough depth and width to accommodate a variety of plants. Our extra large metal raised garden beds are almost 50cm tall, giving you plenty of growing space for root crops like carrots and potatoes, and plenty of room for leafy greens and herbs. A sturdy structure will support healthy plant growth and make things easier come harvesting time.

What kind of soil should you use in raised beds?

Aim for a mix of high-quality topsoil, compost and organic matter. A blend like this will provide good drainage, rich nutrients and a loose, aerated structure that’s spot-on for strong root development. Also, laying mulch on top will help to keep the soil moist, reduce the need for frequent watering and keep weeds in check.
