One way to save money on your garden to grow more crops is by opting to DIY a raised garden bed. DIY raised garden beds give you the freedom to use any garden bed ideas you come up with. Some raised garden bed ideas you can try are as follows:
1. Layering: No one wants a messy garden. One of the benefits of this is getting the most out of your bump garden by using the top shelf as a garden bed and the bottom shelf for any garden supplies. You can also use another shelf as another raised garden bed for other plants. If you like growing vines, it's a good idea to add a trellis to it.
2. Steel box raised garden beds. One of the amazing garden bed ideas you can try is to use a steel box. These are stock tubs that create a rustic yet polished look in your backyard.
3. Wooden Raised Garden Beds This is the simplest type of garden box and provides a simple yet unique style to your outdoor area. All you need to do is create a square or rectangular wood frame. Just place it in the ground and start filling. You can add a mulch, such as straw bales, to the surface of the soil to keep the plants moist rather than dry.
4. If you don't like having a big garden, you can build a pot to grow herbs and small vegetables. You can place it in your backyard, yard or porch. Another benefit of this DIY raised garden bed is that you can easily move the pots indoors once winter begins. This extends the growing season by several weeks.
5. Reuse or recycle large pots. Tall pots don't have to be used alone for ornamental plants. You can also grow tomatoes that grow healthily from deep roots. A large pot will give your tomatoes plenty of room to grow big and strong. Another huge advantage when you're growing tomatoes or other vegetables that require deep roots is that you can pick the crop more easily because you don't have to get down on your knees.
6. Use stumps instead of fresh wood. If someone you know has recently cut down a tree, ask them if they can use the trunk fragments. You can bring pieces of the trunk to the yard and cut the trunk into discs. You simply stack them to create a raised garden outside the building. Another idea you can try is to ask a few friends to help you cut a tree trunk horizontally and use it as a frame for a raised garden bed. This will enhance your garden's curb appeal as the tree trunks will bring an eco-friendly vibe to your home.
7. Use corrugated metal raised garden beds or corrugated metal raised garden beds. Corrugated metal also has a rustic look and can withstand any environmental conditions. This is because of its galvanized finish. Their surfaces are galvanized so changes in environmental conditions will not damage them. You can choose to decorate the top and bottom with wooden shelves to make the entire garden bed even more secure. The frame has sharp edges that act as both a barrier to keep you safe and a place to sit.
You can do this by choosing metal raised garden beds that can be placed anywhere in the ground. To make this raised garden bed, you'll need to make a square garden box. When planting, use chicken wire as a guide. Each foot can grow a different flower, herb or vegetable. This means you can grow a large crop and enjoy the growing season seeing everything grow and grow healthily. You just need to choose the right plants that will give you mutual benefits to maximize your yield.
