Every spring the same question floods my inbox, raised beds. What to build, how to fill them, what size, what material, and whether they are even the right choice. Raised beds have become the default solution for new gardeners, even though they are a relatively new method when viewed against the history of growing food. They can be a powerful tool, but they also add cost, labor, and complexity, and in some cases they solve problems that do not exist. This episode breaks down what raised beds actually do well, where they fall short, and when they make sense versus when they do not.

In this episode I cover the real goals of a garden, the advantages and disadvantages of raised beds, construction material options, layout rules, bed orientation, soil and fill strategies, and long term management. We talk about weed control, irrigation, fertility, placement, wind, drainage, and why soil matters more than any structure you build around it. If you are planning new raised beds, or questioning the ones you already have, this episode gives you the thinking framework to make smart decisions instead of copying trends.
