Gardener and author CaliKim joins us from southern California to talk about growing vegetables in raised beds.
Grow Vegetables in Raised Beds
Raised beds can have a number of advantages:
Soil warms more quickly in spring
Less back and knee strain
A solution for locations with less-than-ideal soil
How to Make Raised Bed Gardens
CaliKim says that raised bed gardens don’t have to be a box or a square. “Think outside the box,” she advises.
A raised bed garden can be tailored to the yard and to the gardener. That could mean:
A shape suited to the location
Choosing materials that tie in to the style of the garden
A mobile unit to be place wherever there is available sunlight
“You have to make it fit your situation.”
Top Tip
CaliKim says would-be gardeners sometimes feel overwhelmed at the thought of making a garden.
Her top tip? Start small, but get started. “Just get started,” she says.
New Book
Her new book is Raised Bed Gardening: All the Know-How you Need to Build and Grow a Raised Bed Garden.
