How narrow can Raised beds be?
We recommend a maximum of 4-feet across. (Lumber is often cut in 4-foot increments.) Do not go wider than 4-feet width so that you can access the garden without stepping into the bed (which compacts the soil, making it harder for plant roots to get the oxygen they need).
What to plant if the area is wide?
Vegetables that do well in wide rows include greens, radishes, peas, beans, cauliflower and broccoli. Tomatoes and corn do not grow well in wide rows.
How wide should my garden beds be?
Raised beds are best kept to a maximum of four feet (1.2m) wide. This makes it easy to reach the middle of the beds without stepping on the soil. Beds against a wall or fence should be about 2-3 feet (60-90cm) wide, as you'll only have access from one side.

What makes a good narrow hedge?
Narrow hedges for small gardens
Wild privet (Ligustrum vulgare), Cotoneaster simonsii and Osmanthus delavayii are ideal. In a small back garden or for delineating your plot into different areas where space is tight, install wooden trellis panels.
How do you fill a raised bed cheaply?
First, dig a trench that's about ten inches deep and two feet down the center of your raised bed. Put down a few layers of cardboard to kill any weeds or grass. Then, fill the core of your raised bed. The best option for this is to use straw bales, but you can also use leaves, grass clippings, or old twigs.
How many bags of soil do I need for a 4x8 raised bed?
How much soil? For a 4x8–foot raised bed with a 10” height, about 1 cubic yard of soil is needed.
What is the ideal width for a raised bed?
The best width for a raised garden bed is four feet (1.2m). Beds this wide are easy to reach into from all sides which is what you want.
Which direction should I plant my rows?
Always plant the tallest vegetables to the northern side of the garden and the shorter growing vegetables to the southern side of the garden. That said, most recommendations agree that planting north-south is marginally better. The north-south orientation allows the sun to penetrate the garden by shining down the rows.
