This is the elevated garden that protects plants from common garden pests. At 31 1/2" tall, the garden’s base raises plants beyond the reach of slugs, rabbits, and other natural nuisances and inhibits the spread of ground-based weeds without the use of harmful chemicals or pesticides. Ideal for square foot gardening, the V-shaped profile accommodates shallow rooted plants along the edges such as radishes and a 16 3/4"-deep center that accommodates long-rooted vegetables such as carrots. The raised bed also boosts soil temperature for seed germination and increases plants’ exposure to sunlight—conditions under which plants thrive—and also enables one to tend a garden while standing or seated, preventing back strain. Constructed from Fir planks. With a fitted fabric liner that keeps the soil contained and helps excess water drain. Assembly required.
