Raised bed or greenhouse? Why not both in one?
Sitting or standing, gardening is easier, because a stooping posture and kneeling while working on the floor beds strain the back and joints very much. For this reason, a raised bed is just as practical as back-friendly - all the better if you can combine its advantages with those of a greenhouse optimally.
Raised beds in the greenhouse
Who thinks about whether he would rather put a raised bed (or more) or a greenhouse in his garden, that said: You can simply put the raised beds in the greenhouse and combine so skillfully the advantages of both forms. Incidentally, a raised bed in the greenhouse ensures that you do not have to lie on your knees at temperatures like the equator and work on the greenhouse soil. Further advantages are:
Here, the raised beds are very easy to integrate into the greenhouse: Instead of you create land beds left and right of the aisle, just install pas built raised beds.It is particularly easy to build the necessary boxes made of wood, where you must protect the material due to the high humidity inside the greenhouse - otherwise it rots within a few years.

However, "real" greenhouses are quite expensive and expensive to build. On the other hand, it is easier to set a pase greenhouse attachment on an already existing or to be built up nursery box. This meets all the criteria of a "large" greenhouse - and can even be reduced if necessary.

Already in the construction of a self-built or the choice of a purchased raised bed you should consider which accessories you need for the bed crate. So it makes sense to inform yourself beforehand about the usual dimensions of covers, attachments, fleeces and foils, so that finally fit the dimensions of raised bed, greenhouse attachment and accessories. Special designs make more and more work and are significantly more expensive than parts with standard dimensions.
Tips
For an early cultivation or for gardening in cool locations, a paser attachment made of glass or acrylic, which makes the raised bed to a cold frame is worthwhile.
