1. Longer growing season: A well-prepared raised bed allows the soil to drain better than in an in-ground garden.

2. No tilling is better for the soil: Maintain raised beds simply by adding materials on top. No more tilling up the soil to add fertilizers and amendments.

3. Raised beds look more pleasant: A raised bed clearly demarcates the pathways from the garden space.

4. Raised beds keep out critters: The tall sides of a raised garden box are obstacles that impede their speed and give us time to stop them before they can reach our plants. It is also easier to put covers or shades over raised garden beds.

5. Save your backbone: When the ground is flat, the back and knees take lots of strain during weeding and gardening. An elevated bed can save you from debilitating back and joint pain. Even the young should consider the damage to the back that organic farming can do through hand weeding. Invest in raised garden beds; invest in your health.

6. Less weeds and crab grass: Raised bed garden growers can cover their beds with mulch, cardboard, or black plastic spring time to kill all the plants that grew up in the winter. When it’s time to start planting, simply rake off the dead weeds.

7. Raise the property value: A raised garden bed is an asset enhancing investment. A neat, tidy and properly built raised garden bed can enhance property values and be a feature instead of an eyesore.

8. Raised beds can be temporary: Having raised bed gardens will allow tenants to indulge in gardening.If the landlord says no to gardening, try using VEGRU’s modular raised bed solutions to create a box. The box is simply set on the ground, cardboard is placed over the grass inside, and the box is filled with soil. When the lease ends, take out the box and spread out the soil. And it is one flat piece of land again.

9. Avoid contaminated soil: Vegetables absorb heavy metals from contaminated soils and this can cause a real threat to our health. VEGRU raised beds provide the unique opportunity to bring in new soil that hasn’t been subjected to whatever toxicity that may be present on site. Toxicity can also be greatly diluted by adding compost.

10. Great for beginners: VEGRU raised garden beds remove many barriers for beginners and enhance probability of success in every rookie’s attempt. Add soil, compost, seeds, water, and the vegetables will grow.
