I am completely new to gardening, so apologies in advance for any dumb questions . I'd like to try my hand at creating a raised bed vegetable garden. I think technically I want to create a raised bed planter (a box with a bottom) because where I want to locate my garden is near a septic field from my backyard neighbor. I do not want any chance on contaminating the garden from the septic field. I'd like to grow things like peppers and tomatoes. That said, what depth would be recommended and are there any drainage factors I should take into account? Any advice is welcomed. | I am completely new to gardening, so apologies in advance for any dumb questions . I'd like to try my hand at creating a raised bed vegetable garden.

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been obsessed with growing my own vegetables at home. Living with my parents back in the day, we had lots of land, good earth and plenty of sunshine. Our vegetable garden was huge and prolific. Since then I’ve tried to make it happen in smaller spaces and less hardy yards, so I’ve learned how to create a raised garden bed for growing veggies. | |||
We’ve enjoyed vegetables from our raised garden bed for several years, but in the last couple of years things really went downhill. Come to find out, I had depleted the soil of all nutrients with my vegetable plants. The leaves would wither, turn yellow, look stunted and more. The plants would seem sickly and small, despite my fertilizing attempts. The yield of tomatoes and other vegetables was weak. | |||
