5 Raised Garden Bed Mistakes, 4 Wins, & Changes For '24

[@Jhinge7385]

Just found your site interesting. Where are your raised beds made,in the USA or some other country?

A couple questions: 1) Would your manifolds work with my 4' tall raised beds? 2) Did you place both your beds & paths on weed barrier? I did not & my paths are 4' wide with 4' wide weed barrier & I have weed around all the edges & anywhere I used ground staples. I did not add gravel or anything on top.

Sure! Happy to help. 1) Our manifolds currently go up to 36" tall, so for a garden bed that is 48" tall you would need to get creative by putting something under the manifold so it can reach higher. 2) We do, but that is more for setup convenience. You don't have to put weed fabric under your raised bed if you don't want to, but it sounds like if you put the fabric a few inches under your bed you would avoid the weeds popping up along the edges. Gravel or mulch on top of the weed fabric will help too. Weeds spread mostly through the air and if they land in soil, and have good sun, they'll grow.
