Raised bed gardening is becoming more and more popular in order to take maximum advantage of small spaces. If you plant your raised bed garden correctly, you can get amazing crops of vegetables, flowers, and herbs with very little effort compared to what you must do in traditional gardening.These types of gardens have an important role in the landscape of the home. They feature framed areas above the ground, and often have wooden frames around the area. They have an increased ability to drain away excess water, and eliminate compacted soil. In addition, you can add soil nutrients as necessary to help your plants be the best they can be. This allows gardeners to plant a variety of plants in their garden. Most plants will work well in raised bed gardens. The exception is those plants that are large or have very deep roots or sprawling top growth. Other plants that don't work in raised beds are those that are top-heavy and tall and therefore need to be firmly anchored. Since the plants in your raised beds will be sharing soil, light, fertilizer, and water, you should make sure to choose plants with similar or the same requirements for growth and development. As far as size, moderately tall plants work well. Also, trailing plants or smaller plants work quite well in raised bed gardens, and can be planted together. Planting in raised beds is just another type of container gardening, and therefore basically requires you to follow the same rules. Plant your tallest plants in the center of your bed, and go down to the smaller plants near the edge. Plant the trailing plants along the edges, so they spill over. Vegetables are pretty easy to grow in raised beds. You can maximize the amount of yield you get from your crops by planting the summer plants as soon as the spring ones have been harvested and fall ones as soon as the summer ones have been harvested. Since the fertilizer and soil are easier to control, you can plant vegetables and plants closer together than in a traditional garden. In addition, raised bed gardens are being used to raise tropical houseplants as annuals. In the fall, you can dig them up and bring them in for the winter. The raised garden beds can be a spectacular addition to your backyard décor.This book covers:

The growing conditions offered in the raised bed garden seriously increase the growth of the annuals, so make sure that you allow enough room for them to grow. Annuals will flourish in the rich soil offered in the raised bed garden.
