Raised beds are a great invention. On the one hand, the back is protected when gardening and, on the other hand, the plants also benefit from it. They get more light and are less likely to be attacked by pests.
Many choose a simple wooden raised bed. This is available in almost every garden center and also online. Unfortunately, wood has the major disadvantage that it needs to be treated regularly to prevent it from rotting over the years. If you want to save yourself the work and prefer to create an indestructible raised bed, you should use stone as a material. It may take longer to set up, but a stone raised bed is more durable.

Here you will not only be shown how easy it is to build such a raised bed, but also how to fill it correctly.
