Buy a raised bed? – Manufacturer list, wood and stone kits

A raised bed not only brings variety to the garden design, but also scores points over the classic, ground-level garden bed with numerous advantages. Thanks to its comfortable height, it can be worked on in a back-friendly manner. The hobby gardener is not dependent on the soil quality, as with a flat bed, but determines it himself by assembling the soil in different layers of green waste, garden soil, compost or potting soil. In addition, the plants are better protected against pests such as snails and caterpillars, which significantly reduces the use of pesticides. A raised bed that serves as a kitchen garden can therefore be two to three times as productive as a flat bed of the same size. First and foremost, however, it offers the hobby gardener undreamt-of design possibilities,
