In addition, heightened ones are much easier to maintain because, practically, there are no weeds. Raised gardens beds can be built in many styles and can fit comfortably in most patios or balconies as well. Vegetables grow well in any type of container and beans, beets, broccoli, asparagus, cabbage, carrots, leafy green vegetables and cauliflower feel well in vertically arranged containers.

In many vegetable gardens you will see beds made from different materials - wood, stone, brick, metal or plastic.

The latter are ideal for sloping areas. If you planned your garden on a sloping plot, terracing the area is the first thing to do.
