This large 4’ x 16’ raised garden bed is strong, long, and perfectly rectangular; the perfect choice for function and durability. It is divided into four separate garden beds with reinforcing bracing boards on higher levels that will resist pushing out by frost and any problems caused by lawnmowers, rambunctious children, or family pets. With 64 square feet of available planting area in four separate garden beds, this may be all the garden you will ever need to grow a good variety of your favourite veggies, herbs, or flowers; from luscious tomatoes to fragrant herbs or a complete salsa or spaghetti sauce garden. By adding our ‘stack and extend, versatile Veggie Wall, to your raised bed you will increase the growing area by 200% creating perfect growing conditions to cultivate cucumbers, pole beans, or flowering vines like clematis, morning glory, and scarlet runner beans. The durable framework of stainless steel with nylon mesh netting is strong enough to support heavy fruits and vegetables like beef-steak tomatoes, cucumbers, and melons. With no need for bending or crouching, harvesting and maintenance are a breeze. Rabbits, dogs, cats, and other garden pests can decimate your hard-won crop of ready-to-eat produce overnight. Protect your raised garden bed with our Animal Barrier. It slots into the corner and side joints of your raised bed to create a tough barrier to keep out marauding garden pests. The gated stainless-steel frame and heavy-duty rigid plastic mesh are built to last and won’t flop, rust or rot. The easy-access gate makes it simple to tend to your garden without any leaning or reaching. Purchase multiple kits to expand the protection to any dimension, or stack to any height. Your kit comes with everything you need except the soil and plants. Each modular kit includes composite boards, snap-lock stacking brackets, and snap-lock 4-Way bracing brackets for 2, 3, and 4-level beds. The open-channel boards trap air, providing insulation to your soil, and regulating your soil temperature. The warm soil in spring means you can plant earlier and because the soil remains warm later into fall it extends your growing season. The insulated board walls also keep your soil from drying out which reduces the need for water.
I love this product, and its really worth the investment because of its quality and longevity, and food grade plastic material. This is my 2nd order after buying 1 last year, and am absolutely pleased with it. Everyone admires how sleek and sturdy it is and how easy it was to put together. Fyi, I built mine as 3 plank high garden beds for our veggies, it is deep enough for the roots, and the garden bed survived our wintery and snowy ontario weather beautifully. ( no cracks, no loose joints, no rot). For best results layer the fill like lasagna with flattened cardboard(soaked)triple mix soil shredded dry leaves or strawcompostmanure ....almost to the top. (The soil will drop during the growing season as you water because it compacts. Just top up with compost or triple mix when this happens. Never dig it up or you will disturb the eco system of your soil ( google Permaculture).. Tania. St Catharines, ON. Fri Jul 05 2019
