THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO PLANT IN

A RAISED BED

1. Row Planting

As the name suggests, plants are grown in rows.

Each variety is grown in its own row.

This is a very straightforward, uncomplicated method
ideally suited to the beginner gardener. GARDEN TOOLS

YOU WILL NEED

 Garden trowel
 Hand cultivator

 Garden gloves
 Pruners / seca-

teurs

 Watering wand

2. Square-Foot Gardening

This option enables the raised bed gardener to

maximize the yield even more. You divide your raised
bed space into a grid of 1- x 1-foot squares. An 8’ x 4’
raised bed will give you 32 squares available for

planting; A 4 ft square raised bed will yield 16
squares.
