Using a staple gun I fixed the moisture barrier to the sides and along the bottom of the planter. I made sure there were drainage holes in the middle so that excess water could escape into the soil below. Be sure to choose a level piece of ground in a well-drained area that gets at least 6 to 8 hours of sun per day.

With flares, you can install your mattress width-wise and gain a few feet of useable space. They are not cheap and require professional installation.Growing vegetables is a fun and rewarding pursuit, and should be open to everyone - including gardeners with reduced mobility and those that use a wheelchair. We carry a comprehensive range of trough planters that are raised to allow access without bending, or that can be tended comfortably from a wheelchair. Integrating a trellis into your raised bed will maximise production and create more space. Plants that can be grown on trellises include vegetables such as pole beans, peas, tomatoes and cucumbers. Some trellises are permanently attached to the raised bed, while others can be installed temporarily and taken down in the winter months. A bench planter will be loved by all ages!

We also offer a range of heights, depending on what crops you wish to grow or the quality of the soil beneath the bed. We supply beds starting at 7 inches high and include 9, 14, and 21-inch options. Your choice of height will be dictated by many factors, including a comfortable working height for you, the quality of the soil under the bed, and what crops you wish to grow. For example, root crops like carrots and parsnips need a bed with plenty of depth, while shallow root crops (like leafy salads) will be happy in a much shallower planter. While any raised planters look great, we prefer to use timber. Its natural appearance is so pleasing in the vegetable garden. Once they have been treated against rot, wooden planters require little or no maintenance and will give many years of service.While not every gardener will have to endure deer invading their raised beds, those that do will reach the end of their tether fairly rapidly! Invest in a large cover like the one pictured above to save your raised beds from deer.
