Choose the Right Location:
Select a sunny spot for your raised garden bed, as most vegetables and plants need at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.
Prepare the Bed:
Clear the area of grass, weeds, and debris. Ensure the bed is level to prevent water runoff.
Build the Bed:
Construct a frame using untreated wood, bricks, or concrete blocks. The bed should be at least 6-12 inches high. Place the frame in the chosen location.
Fill the Bed:
Add a mixture of soil, compost, and organic matter to the bed. This provides nutrients and improves drainage.
Plan Your Garden:
Decide what you want to plant and where. Consider the spacing requirements and the growth habits of the plants.
Planting:
Sow seeds or transplant seedlings into the bed. Follow the planting depth and spacing guidelines for each type of plant. Water the plants gently after planting.
Mulch:
Apply a layer of mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Water and Maintain:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Regularly check for pests and diseases, and take appropriate measures to protect your plants.
