Now that your raised garden bed is complete, you can add a layer of dirt or mulch to the frame. This layer should be two feet deep, so the roots of your vegetables and herbs are not damaged when they grow larger. Leafy greens will need less space than root vegetables, so you should adjust the amount of soil accordingly if you have more space available and depending on the type of plants you plan to grow.
Conclusion
That is all there is to it! The steps in making a raised garden bed are easy, and the materials for this project cost very little. If you wanted to, you could even cut corners by using scrap wood or wood that no one wants anymore. Once your raised garden bed is built, you can start planting. If you live in an area where the soil is not accessible enough to dig, this is a good alternative because it makes growing vegetables and herbs significantly easier!
