A raised bed on the terrace is a beautiful design element
Design the garden with terrace raised beds
A vegetable garden not only has to be useful and practical, but also beautiful. It does not even take much effort to do so: simply by skilfully arranging several vegetable raised beds - for example, as a framing of a terrace - you can create a true garden gem.
High beds harmoniously and practically integrate into the garden
If you mainly want to grow vegetables, you should preferably create several raised beds - especially if you want to provide yourself and your family with as much home-grown vegetables as possible. However, so that these raised beds do not seem like randomly placed in the garden boxes, a well thought-out and harmonious grouping is recommended.
Frame the terrace with raised beds
Two or three raised beds are especially attractive and practical at the same time. They position you in L or U shape and use one or more sides as a demarcation to a terrace or a seat. The beds can be planted with vegetables - very convenient if the patio door is near the kitchen - or as a privacy screen with correspondingly high-vigilant shrubs or perennials. For example, berry bushes or low-growing fruit trees are very well suited - as you and your family can enjoy fresh fruit from the bush during the afternoon coffee.
Terrace culture with raised beds
Also a very smart idea is the staggering of different high vegetable raised beds or the combination of raised beds with different high vegetation. Beets with tomatoes, runner beans or berry bushes stay in the background and are positioned in front of walls, walls or fences. One lower floor are lower raised beds or those with low-growing vegetables such as cabbage, leek or zucchini. However, keep in mind the space between the beds - otherwise you will not be able to care for or harvest the rear bed.
Build suitable raised bed for terrace yourself
If you only have a small garden but a lot of terrace, you can place the raised bed or the raised beds directly on the terrace without touching the ground. For example, table raised beds are very well suited for this purpose, but "classic" raised beds that are closed at the bottom can also be set up. One problem in this case, however, is the lack of drainage for excess water and rainwater: If you want to build such a terrace raised bed yourself, you have to somehow find a form of drainage - for example, by putting perforated boxes in the flower boxes (eg Plastic shopping baskets). These are best on bricks, so that the water can drain and the plants do not get "wet feet".
Tips
Terraces and terraces can also be used to create beautiful, even planting areas from terraced gardens.
