What the AI looks for in Raised Garden Kits
- Depth
- About 6 inches works over good native soil. Go about 11 to 12 inches or more over poor soil or for root crops. Root depth determines what grows well.
- Metal coating
- Prefer coated or galvanized steel with rolled or capped top edges. Rust resistance and safe edges.
- Bracing on long beds
- Long metal beds need cross braces. Soil pressure bows the side walls outward.
- Wood type
- Use cedar or other rot-resistant untreated wood for food. Pine rots quickly, and old treated lumber raises food-safety concerns.
Brands that matter
- Vego Garden: Modular coated-metal raised beds.
- Birdies: Australian corrugated steel beds.
- Greenes Fence: Cedar raised bed kits.
- Frame It All: Composite modular raised beds.
What to avoid
- Thin uncoated steel
- Untreated pine kits marketed for long-term use
