The Beds We Raise

5/11/2015

 
As many of you know, now is the time for planting vegetables and getting your garden growing. For many of our clients, raised beds are an ideal solution for producing food.  Whether you are new to gardening or have been at it for years, raised beds are an economical yet impactful element to any space.  

Raised beds are great for many reasons.  They keep pathway weeds from your garden soil (less weeding!), they prevent soil compaction, provide good drainage, and serve as a barrier to pests such as slugs and snails.  Raised beds can also be made out of many different materials including finished wood, logs, cement blocks, or composite materials. At Stone Soup Gardens, we can design and install a raised bed for any style garden.  

Here is an example of a clever way to get the most out of limited space for gardening.  We just completed these wonderful beds for a client in Columbia City.  It is a wonderful focal piece for the property, and provides a lovely space for sitting and relaxing with neighbors, friends, or for tending your plants without having to crouch.  


Interested in having raised beds for your garden?  Contact Stone Soup today!
