- Common dimensions for raised beds are 4 feet wide by 8 or 12 feet long, and 12 to 18 inches deep.
- A 4-foot width is ideal as it allows easy access to the center of the bed without stepping on the soil.
- For beds over concrete, aim for a minimum depth of 12 inches, preferably 18 inches.
4. Filling the Raised Bed:
- Use a mix of topsoil, compost, and other organic matter to fill the bed.
- Ensure the soil is loose and well-aerated to promote healthy root growth.
5. Planning What to Plant:
- Raised beds are suitable for a wide range of vegetables, flowers, and herbs.

- Tomatoes, green beans, peppers, cucumbers, Brussels sprouts, and leafy greens are also great choices for raised beds.
