Some things to keep in mind when you build your raised bed garden:
-
3' wide is plenty wide enough, you need a comfortable reach
-
6' long is also long enough to ensure the same comfortable reach
-
1' high is okay, but if you do 2' you won't have to bend down as far to reach your plants
-
If you build close to your house you will use the heat from your house to help insulate your garden
