In the world of agriculture, the advantages of a raised garden are widely accepted; from effective prevention of erosion to insect control to the custodial ease, this is a concept that you can apply to your vegetable garden.

The things you do differently when you design your garden to be raised versus level are not great in number…

If one side of your raised garden comes up against a wall or fence, then it is there that you want to plant any vegetables that you hope to climb a trellis.

In addition, you may do more “intensive” cultivation because the soil will be free of disease and pests, and you will be able to keep track of watering more easily.

Your taller growing plants should be planted centrally while your shorter plants should go towards the perimeter. This makes it much easier to tend to the lot of them.

Plant leaf lettuce and radishes in the same spot and time frame so that when the lettuce is ready to be collected, then the radishes will be well entrenched.
