Cedar Raised Bed The Benefits Of Raised Garden Beds

Generations of gardeners have trusted raised beds for their most important plantings of vegetables, herbs and flowers because of the superior results this smart gardening method provides. Raised garden beds make the best sense when you consider:

Ease of Amending Soil

If your garden's soil leaves much to be desired, nothing could be simpler than setting out a raised bed and simply pouring in your compost, garden soil or potting soil. No back-breaking rototilling or digging! Simply fill the raised bed with the soil of your choice and bask in the confidence of knowing that you've provided your plants with the best possible growing conditions.

Ease of Improving Drainage

Nothing stunts plant growth like poor-draining soil. Roots just can't grow the way they need to in heavy soil to form lush, full growth. Raised garden beds raise up the level of the soil so that water drains through your added, amended soil every time you water. Raised beds dispel the risk of roots 'drowning' and their confines prevent your good soil from eroding away from your plants.

Easy Gopher Protection

If your garden doubles as the home of gophers, moles, prairie dogs or other ground-dwelling rodents, nothing could be simpler than using a raised bed to keep these visitors out of your plantings. Simply set down a layer of chicken wire on the ground before installing your raised cedar bed and furry critters will be thwarted. This is especially appreciated by animal lovers and organic gardeners who are plagued with rodents in the garden but don't wish to harm the animals or put poison into the environment.

Kitty Discouragement

There's nothing quite like sowing a seed bed only to have the neighborhood cats mistakenly decide that you've built them a lovely box for their convenience! Raised beds come to the rescue in this unwanted situation. Once your seeds are sown or your seedlings are set out, simply place bird netting or chicken wire over the top of the raised beds to protect that inviting expanse of newly-turned soil. Once plants have gotten a good start, their leaves will grow to cover enough of the soil to make the new bed lose its appeal to your local cats.

The Lasting Benefits of Cedar

White cedar is naturally bug and rot resistant. Over the years, if left unstained, it will weather to a handsome, soft grey. For a raised bed, cedar is the best choice you can make to ensure that your efforts are going to make a lasting difference in the garden.

Maybe you have a green thumb, but are all thumbs when it comes to carpentry. Never fear! The beautiful design of our cedar raised garden bed planters enables you to assemble them in just minutes.

The Visual Enjoyment Raised Beds Provide

Whether you are creating a handy and fruitful kitchen garden, or a bed of fresh green ferns in a shady nook, raised beds keep plantings tidy and give that official stamp to your living landscape. Setting out your raised beds can help you plan the shape and main architecture of your garden, delineating the most important planting areas in your yard. Because raised bed planters lift up the level of the soil, they can give you the upper hand in your fight against weeds in a previously-uncultivated garden, and the visual appeal of handsomely designed cedar raised beds is considerable.

In Sum, our cedar raised garden beds:

  • Require only a hammer and a few minutes of your time to assemble
  • Are insect and rot resistant
