Raised beds: how and from what to make

Do not stand on the box or rest heavy objects on it. The structure is designed to hold the shape of the bed and is not intended to serve as a support.

If polyethylene film was attached to the bed to create a micro-greenhouse, after dismantling it, it is better to treat the attachment points with impregnation.

Many summer residents suffer because the groundwater level on their plot is too high. Excessive soil moisture is not suitable for all plants, many develop poorly or even die. The problem can be solved by making high beds. With such an organization of plantings, it is possible to control the degree of humidity. And a pleasant bonus to this croatia mobile database will be an earlier ripening period and a much larger harvest.

Advantages and disadvantages
In addition to solving problems with over-watering, high beds in the garden allow you to sow or plant plants 2-3 weeks earlier: raised above the ground, they warm up more actively due to the fact that the sun heats the walls. This is also facilitated by the decomposition processes occurring in plant waste, which make up a significant part of the backfill. Therefore, such beds are also called warm. If you put arcs on such a bed and cover it with spunbond or other similar material, then the harvest can be collected even earlier.

The device is more problematic in regions with a hot climate. The task in this case is not to heat the ground better, but to keep it from overheating. But this can be solved: use materials with poor thermal conductivity, such as wood, to enclose high beds. For a better effect, you can make double walls, between which you can fill, for example, sawdust, lay foam, or you can leave an air gap - the best thermal insulation. In a hot climate, it is better to paint the outer wall white or whitewash. It is known that light surfaces heat up less. In this case, you can save the root system from overheating: in the south, the ground sometimes heats up very strongly and the higher the plant is, the cooler it will be. And you can also stretch the same covering material over the beds. It not only retains heat, but also protects from overheating.
