Gardening with raised beds is my preferred method. When you’re doing raised bed gardening, you can control your soil type easily. Your beds warm up faster in the spring. You’ll have less weeds and an easier time clearing out those which do appear. The soil doesn’t become compacted like an in-ground bed. But there’s one drawback: you have to figure out how to fill a tall raised garden bed. And that seems daunting!

Whether you’re using native soil or a soil mix, a blend of soil and compost, or something else, we’ll go over your options. There’s plenty of things you can do to fill your gardens raised beds!
