Raised bed gardening: Try it, you’ll like it

A raised bed gar­den by def­i­n­i­tion is sim­ply one that is ele­vated off the ground. The bed can be solid to the ground and con­structed with sides made of wood, brick, or other mate­ri­als. The bed can sim­ply be a berm with no per­ma­nent edges. Or, the bed can be com­pletely ele­vated off the ground so that a chair can be placed under it. How you design your raised bed gar­den depends on your avail­able resources, where you are putting it, and how you intend to use it.
