A garden is a wonderful thing. Here you can really let off steam. What many have in their garden is a raised bed. Perhaps you have already considered whether you should create a bed like this. There are some advantages that such beds bring with them. We have listed the advantages for you here.
Creating a raised bed - 4 advantages
- Raised beds are easier to work with. You no longer have to bend down and protect your back.
- Raised beds are not as prone to pests. Snails usually do not reach this height. That's why herbs, salads and vegetables are in good hands there. But watch out for voles, they can dig through from below. Here you should intervene right away during construction. Keep voles from visiting the raised bed with a close-meshed wire mesh.
- The higher the plants are placed, the more light they receive.
- A raised bed gives the garden a new, completely different structure. You can design several floors and thus give your garden its very own ambience. A raised bed simply has charm and looks good anywhere.
And now to work
If you are now convinced of the many advantages of a raised bed, you should not hesitate any longer and get to work right away. A raised bed made of Juwel building blocks is quick and easy to set up.

If you don't have your own compost to fill the raised bed with, you can certainly get it cheaply from the local recycling center.
