A question I get asked A LOT is "what kind of raised beds do I need?" And there are A LOT of answers for that! It really depends on what your gardening needs and budget are. Visit my contact page if you would like to discuss your garden ideas with me! Raised beds do make gardening more organized, easy and efficient, if you ask me. But what stumps most people is what to make the beds out of and how much will it cost. I have built beds in the past with untreated pine and burnt them (Shou Sugi Ban) to make them last longer. I have built garden beds using large stones from my property and even logs. But at the end of the day, I have found that spending the money and having beds that last a long time is worth every penny! Especially ones that you can break down and move if you plan on moving too.
I'm going to brag about these Olle Raised Garden Beds I started seeing all over Pinterest. These beds are amazing for many reasons, and here are some fun features:
Olle Gardens’ beds are crafted with 24 gauge galvanized steel coated with Aluzinc, a zinc-aluminum alloy, and powder coated with color.
Paired with stainless steel bolts, washers, and nuts, these metal raised garden beds are rust-resistant and durable against extreme weather conditions.
With a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes available, including rounds, squares, rectangles, and more, you can build the dream garden bed of your choice.
Each bed comes with 4 corner panels and 4 short side panels, and 4 long panels, allowing for customized assembly into 12 different dimensions.
Plus, Olle garden beds are built to last for decades (up to 20 years), making them a sustainable and environmentally-friendly choice for gardeners.
They're sooooo pretty! But it’s not just about the features – using Olle Raised Garden Beds also has many benefits. Raised garden beds improve soil quality, provide better drainage, and reduce the need for bending and kneeling. As I get older, I appreciate higher beds! Plus, with raised beds you can easily incorporate the Hügelkultur style of gardening. No, that's not a typo, it's an actual gardening style.
Hügelkultur is a gardening method that has been used for centuries and involves building a raised garden bed on top of a mound of logs and organic matter. This technique helps to improve soil quality, retain moisture, and provide long-term nutrition to the plants. As the logs decompose, they release nutrients into the soil, creating a self-fertilizing system. Hügelkultur also helps to reduce the need for watering, as the logs and organic matter retain moisture for longer periods of time. This method is particularly useful in areas with poor soil quality, as it can be used to create fertile planting beds without the need for expensive soil amendments or fertilizers. Keep in mind that as things break down in your soil, the level goes down over the years. Just remember to keep up healthy soil practices by adding in compost every year. Hügelkultur can be used in conjunction with Olle Raised Garden Beds to create a sustainable and efficient gardening system that is both eco-friendly and cost-effective.
