Introduction

Raised garden beds make gardening much more enjoyable. You can plant closer together, use better soil and most importantly, you can weed and harvest from your raised garden beds without straining your back. I’ve put together a list of some of my favorite designs for raised garden beds this year and also provided links to the plans to build them yourself.

Single Raised Garden Bed

Single raised garden beds are the most common type of raised garden bed, and they’re easy to build. Building a single-sided raised bed is less expensive than building a double-sided one. They’re also good for people who don’t have much time or space for gardening—they take up only one side of your yard instead of two, so you’ll have more room for planting flowers and vegetables on either side of it.

Rectangular Raised Bed

The rectangular raised bed is the most popular and versatile shape for a garden bed. The design can be built in the shape of a square, rectangle or triangle, depending on your needs. A rectangular garden bed is ideal for those who want to grow vegetables, herbs and other plants that require space for their roots to stretch out without being disturbed by their neighbors’ growth habits.

A simple rectangular raised bed made from wood can be built using 4×4 treated lumber (or other sturdy materials) as the frame while keeping it supported by concrete blocks at each corner of the structure. Alternatively, brick pavers or stone can also be used as material for building this type of raised garden beds since they are more durable than wood but less expensive than stones or pavers.

On-The-Wall Planter Box

The on-the-wall planter box is a raised garden bed designed to fit on a wall or fence. You can use it to grow vegetables, flowers or herbs in any season.

This type of box is great for people who don’t have much space in their backyard or yard and need additional growing space without taking up too much room. The advantage of this kind of raised garden bed is that you can grow plants from seeds and cuttings as well as transplanting already-established plants into your new planter!

Cold-Frame Raised Garden Beds

Cold-Frame Raised Garden Beds are perfect for beginners. A cold frame is a small, enclosed structure that can be used to extend the growing season by protecting plants from cold temperatures and frost. You can start seeds in your home and then transplant them into your raised garden bed once they’ve sprouted. This is a great way to get a head start on the growing season!

In addition to being easy to build, these raised beds are also very affordable—you can find plans for them online or at your local hardware store for less than $50!

Hexagon Raised Garden Bed

A hexagonal raised garden bed is great for growing plants because it has a lot of surface area, which allows you to plant more in one space. The shape also makes it easier to reach into, which can be helpful if you’re working on your knees or just need to access the plants easily while standing up.

Rolling Raised Garden Bed

If you have a large garden, or if you just want to be able to move the raised garden bed around, a rolling raised garden bed may be the best option for you. This type of raised garden bed can be moved easily and can be used in multiple areas of your yard depending on what crops are growing in it at any given time. It is also good if mobility issues make it difficult for you to get around easily. These rolling raised bed frames are made from strong steel and have wheels that make them easy to move around, even when they’re full of soil and plants. They come with several shelves which allow different crops to grow on them at once so that you can harvest fresh vegetables throughout the season instead of having everything ripen all at once like many other types of gardens do

V-Shaped Raised Garden Bed

If you need to grow a large number of plants, this is the raised garden bed for you. It’s also good if you’re growing plants that need lots of space and water, like tomatoes or cucumbers. The V-shape makes it easy to place rows and rows of plants in the same space, which makes it ideal for planting crops that require a lot of space between them.

The V-shaped raised garden bed provides plenty of room for sunlight penetration as well as airflow around each plant (a problem with other raised garden designs). The key here is putting in enough drainage holes so that excess water can drain out quickly without drowning your plants or creating puddles where harmful insects might breed.

Square Foot Gardening Planter Boxes

Another great option to consider is square foot gardening. This is a method where you grow your vegetables in specific square foot sections, and it allows you to maximize the space in your garden while also growing plenty of fruits and vegetables.

This method can be great for kids, as they can learn how to grow their own food. It’s also a great way to get them involved in gardening and eating healthier foods at home!

Multi-Level Raised Garden Beds

One of the best ways to grow more plants and produce is by using multi-level raised garden beds. These offer a variety of benefits, including:

• Better air circulation. Since there are multiple levels, you can plant tall crops in one area and shorter crops in another area so that they get plenty of fresh air. This allows for better overall growth and health in your plants.
• Better drainage. Multi-level beds also allow for better drainage than standard raised garden beds because it keeps water away from roots where it could cause issues such as root rot or dampening soil too much (which can lead to fungus).

Split-Levels Raised Garden Planters

Split levels are great for small spaces and can be built with a variety of materials, shapes, sizes and colors. They are raised garden beds that have two or more levels on top of each other. The split level design is perfect for building in a small space such as your back yard or patio.

A split level raised bed gives you the option to grow things vertically (up) as well as horizontally (out). If you want to maximize the amount of gardening space available to you within a limited area then this type of design will give you this ability. It’s also an excellent way to create different growing conditions in one container by separating your plants into different areas that suit their needs best.

If you want to grow your own food this year, you need a good plan and then a good raised garden bed design.

One of the most important parts of your raised garden bed is the soil. It’s not just about buying some dirt and putting it in a pile. You need to make sure that your soil is healthy, safe and good for growing plants.

When you are building a raised garden bed, you can make sure that your soil is good by adding compost, manure and other organic materials to help enrich it with nutrients. This will help keep the pH level balanced so that plants can thrive without getting diseases or nutrient deficiencies from too much acidity (or too much alkalinity).

Conclusion

The best raised garden bed design is the one that fits your needs and space the best. That’s why it’s important to think about how you want to use it, what kind of soil and plants you want to grow, and then pick a design that works with those things in mind. Take some time to do research on each option before making a decision so you can feel confident about your choice when all is said and done!
