The raised bed in permaculture

Framing the raised bed - natural ideas that cost nothing

For confining your raised bed you will find in the hardware store not quite cheap wooden boxes and foil, with the raised bed should be designed so that the wood does not suffer. But that works differently. One of the principles of permaculture is to use the existing one. So look around your garden and get creative. You can choose your raised frame, e.g. Create from large stones, use pruning or even build the limit from old flower pots, bricks, tree roots or sods. Also a mix of different materials is conceivable. If you have clayey soil, you can seal and stabilize the walls of the raised bed with clay, or you can use chopped or small stones to close gaps in the frame.
If you have no idea what to frame your raised bed with, just lay out a hillside - it does not need a frame. Find out more about the hillside here.
