Raised bed gardening is easy to maintain and easy on your back. Another useful purpose for the raised bed gardens is that it can make use of poor soil locations and out of the way place in the backyard that receive enough sunlight for a garden but may have poor soil or be so uneven that it creates problems.

This you tube has a very easy to assemble raised bed plan. It cans easily be adapted in width and length to fit into your backyard, which can be helpful if you are working with small space design for that small yard. Notice the nice raised beds that are located on the deck. It adds beauty to the deck and makes use of valuable space.

One other reason I really enjoy raised beds is that they are easy to attach framed to for growing crops in cold weather. You can also attach trellises or posts to the side to let plants grow vertical which will also save space in the garden areas.
