#1 Raised-bed gardens are the best way to grow, and this chapter introduces you to some of the basic decisions you will need to make. Planning ahead is essential. You want to give your plants the environment they need to grow in, so they can produce a healthy, productive harvest.

#2 Location is extremely important when raising beds. You want your garden to be near a water source, such as a spigot with a hose. Do not place the beds in low-lying or swampy areas prone to flooding, which may limit access to your garden.

#3 Take your time choosing a location. Visualize it in your mind and consider making a drawing showing your proposed spot, along with nearby buildings and natural amenities such as trees and shrubbery.

#4 You should now decide on the proper size of your raised beds. They can be as small as 3 feet by 3 feet, or as long as you like but no wider than 4 feet. The depth of your beds should be at least 6 inches, but make them as high as you want.
