How to Fill a Raised Garden Bed for Successful Harvests
In this video, I’ll show you one way to fill a raised garden bed for successful harvests. Starting and maintaining healthy soil is a huge contributing factor to good garden harvests. I’m filling my 17”-deep metal raised bed the same way I filled my 12”-deep wooden beds with the exception of the bottom layer. When you have deeper beds, there are options to help you save money while filling and to build healthy soil. There are also a few things to consider to make sure you’re starting out with the healthiest possible soil. I’ll show you my experiences with that here. I like the sturdiness of my @GardenInMinutes bed as well as the depth, and the square corners for a larger planting footprint (vs. rounded corners). I also love the garden grid watering system which gives me a plant spacing guide in addition to effortless irrigation. #GardenInMinutes #GIMpartner To read more about Garden in Minutes raised beds and watering systems: (I’ll receive a small commission if products are purchased from some of the links below, with no extra charge to you).
