@kellydawnschradin: Why Raised Beds? Not Just for Looks. #gardening #garden #growyourownfood Are raised beds just for looks? Some people think so, but the truth is, they offer practical benefits beyond aesthetics. I started using raised beds nearly two decades ago because of constant spring rains, flooding, and heavy, muddy soil that delayed planting until May. Since switching, I’ve been able to plant earlier, improve drainage, and build better soil without the need for tilling. In this video, I’ll share why raised beds work for me, including their role in improving soil structure, microbial life, and overall garden health. I’ll also address the common concern about cost and how I keep mine affordable by using a mix of native soil, compost, and leaf mold. Do you garden in raised beds or in-ground? What works best for you?
