Let’s talk raised beds vs. in-ground garden! First off, I got these absolutely amazing beds from @Land Guard Gardening. I’ve had a LOT of brands of raised garden beds, and I can truly with 100% confidence say that these are the nicest ones that I’ve worked with. There’s no inside liner, they’re VERY sturdy material, the colors are phenomenal, and probably the best part of them is the price point! I’ve paid an embarrassing amount for garden beds and I got TEN of these for $179 each! Easy set up - although being a one man band it did take me a while - but with that being said, I did them all myself lol. I’ll pop a link in my bio! Use code “Lauren15” to save some money!

Now let’s talk why raised beds:

1. Easier to control moisture (both through droughts and floods)

2. Easier to control soil makeup, pH, fertilizer… Much more manageable versus fighting in ground soil.

3. Little to no weeding

4. Animals have a much harder time destroying crops

5. They look phenomenal

6. You don’t need a Rototiller or tractor, it’s a no till method

I’m curious… Do you in ground garden or raised bed/container garden? Each definitely has its own perks as well as cons! I’m excited to go full raised garden beds this year.

... Read moreWhen I switched to LandGuard raised garden beds, I noticed a remarkable difference not just in ease of gardening but also in the quality of my crops. One tip I found invaluable is using natural mulch and layering sticks, logs, and leaves inside the beds. This supports soil health by breaking down over time, reducing costs by using free materials, and creating a nutrient-rich environment. I also experimented with adding cattle panel trellises for climbing plants like green beans and squash. This vertical gardening technique maximizes space and protects plants from ground pests. Walking stones placed throughout the garden made it easy to maintain without compacting soil. Another benefit I didn’t expect was how raised beds help with moisture balance. During dry spells, the soil retains water better, and after heavy rains, drainage prevents waterlogging—a huge win compared to my previous in-ground garden. Lastly, creating a pollinator garden at the end of the raised beds with native flowers attracted beneficial insects, which improved pollination and overall plant health. This holistic approach to gardening has made my raised bed setup not only productive but also visually stunning and eco-friendly.
