Vegetables in your own garden are a hit. You save a lot of money and it is also a lot of fun to grow your own vegetables. It is especially fun to build your own raised bed and plant your vegetables there.
A raised bed is so practical because, firstly, your back no longer hurts so much from bending over and, secondly, the nutrients that are in the soil are available for the vegetable plants. Because a raised bed doesn't just come with soil, it consists of several layers that can be used for many years.
- The border must be made of wood or wire boxes.
- A chain link fence or a grid serves as a base.
- Then there are a total of five different layers. First a layer of wood waste. Chopped branches are ideal here.
- This is followed by a layer of plant debris. Be careful not to use diseased plants.
- Followed by a layer of garden waste.
- Then another layer of foliage.
- Finally, soil and compost.
Anyone who grows their vegetables on it can expect a plentiful harvest.
