Soil & Plants
High-quality garden soil
Compost (optional but recommended)
Your favorite plants (vegetables, herbs, etc.)
🪵 2. Build the Raised Bed Frame
Start by building a rectangular wooden box:
Height: about 40–60 cm (16–24 inches)
Width: not too wide (so you can reach the middle easily)
Length: depends on your space
👉 Secure the corners with strong posts to keep everything stable.
💡 Tip: Place it right next to your house, under a gutter downspout (this is key).
🪨 3. Create the Drainage Channel (The Secret Part!)
