CORNER RAISED BEDS - PLANNING AND PLANTING
To help you make the most of your raised beds - and most importantly enjoy growing in them - we've compiled a list of factors to consider when siting and filling your beds.
- Raised beds can be placed directly onto soil, lawn or paving.
The beds can be filled directly with a fertile, organic rich, light & friable topsoil/compost such as the vegetable and fruit topsoil that we supply via our partnership with Rolawn. One of the benefits of a raised bed is the fact you can tailor the growing medium to the plants you are wishing to grow; for example you can use ericaceous compost for acid loving plants or you may want to grow carrots in sand.
- If you want to increase the drainage of your bed you can add a layer of gravel approximately 5cm / 2” deep at the base, but note that the level drainage will be dictated mainly by the ground that the bed is sitting on. If for example the bed is sitting on a free draining sandy soil you may want to lay down a semi-permeable ground sheet beneath the bed to reduce the drainage.
We've also produced a quick guide to the depth of bed you'll need to grow favourite Kitchen Garden crops. This list is by no means definitive but if you're unsure of how many tiers to go for, the over-riding advice is to go deeper - this gives you the flexibility to grow a wider variation of vegetables in the future and also helps with crop rotation.
Here's that list;

2 Tier at least |
Potatoes |
