Raised Bed Gardening Infographic
Look at this great infographic on raised beds! It includes information on ideal bed sizes and soil mixtures. While I loved my double dug beds, and have plans to build a hugelkultur mound in the future, transitioning to raised beds for most of my garden has really streamlined the soil building process. The black clay that my soil is made up of is extremely rich in minerals, but an absolute bear to work with. It's notorious for compacting back down. Every year saw me tilling it back up. The benefits of the double digging didn't last beyond 2 seasons. Making the switch to raised beds has made it a lot easier to create healthy, humus rich soil that doesn't need to be plowed up every year.
