Raised garden beds are great for number of reasons. They keep pathway weeds from your garden soil, prevent soil compaction, provide good drainage and serve as a barrier to pests such as slugs and snails. Raised garden beds also reduce back strain from bending over to tend to plants — which is especially helpful for anyone with back problems. Here are 15 DIY raised garden bed ideas that anyone with some basic tools can put together.
