To optimize limited space in our backyard, we make use of raised beds for growing vegetables. After several years, we are finally reaching a point of continual success with our backyard urban garden. I put together this instructable to help anyone else thinking of gardening in raised beds or having limited success. Raised beds have the benefit of organizing and easily dividing your gardening space. You can work on one bed at a time and have a sense of accomplishment if you don't have enough time on your hands to do all of them. We place wood chip mulch in between the beds for dirt-free walking paths. Depending on the type of raised beds, they can also be made higher. For some people, like me, this makes taking care of your raised beds a little easier since you don't need to kneel down as much. There are several factors that are important for success with raised beds: soil, watering, plants, and pest control. | To optimize limited space in our backyard, we make use of raised beds for growing vegetables.
