The Health of Your Soil Determines Plant Growth

Improving soil health is critical to creating a thriving ecosystem that supports strong, healthy plants. Soil is often overlooked as a key foundation for gardens, even though it is the medium in which plants sustain their life. Gardening in a raised bed provides an opportunity to heal and enrich the soil, as you have more control over the soil composition. By choosing the right soil for your raised bed, you can provide your plants with the ideal environment to grow in!
