Timing: We’d all like an abundance of lettuce, just not at the same time. So plant some seedlings a week apart for a few weeks so you have your veggies staggered in time with your needs. Be sure to plant seasonal veggies too for variety of produce. If you have a large space, know exactly where you want to put them & want to grow large things, go for the large bed. Of course, you can still move them if you need to - you’ll just have to empty out the soil onto a piece of tarp first! Make sure you take intoconsideration how much light your container garden will get and position the containersin the best spot for adequate lighting. Investigate how much sun your plantsneed – some prefer shade, many prefer full sun and then place the container ina suitable position in your garden.

As we mentioned, having an outdoor space that is teeming with flowers and vegetables can be a hassle if your current garden is limited by size. Raised beds provide manageability and allow you to more effectively control bugs and weeds. Additionally, the roots will grow better because there are no tree roots to sap vital nutrients; the soil is faster to warm up as it's elevated off the ground; and the drainage is superior. Additionally, when growing edibles, many people want to contain them away from the elements, hazards and pesky pests. Containers have these benefits too, but also come with the added ability of being flexible and easy to move around – ensuring you can maximise how much sunlight plants or vegetables receive. However, they can dry out much faster than raised beds. Thankfully, plastic raised garden bed kits can solve these problems.
