Why are Greenland Gardener Raised Garden Beds better than wooden raised garden beds?

Wooden beds will rot and deteriorate over time. Further, the chemicals used in treated lumber can be toxic. Using treated lumber beds puts the soil you are using to grow your fruits, vegetables and flowers in direct contact with these chemicals which could possibly seep into the soil.

How much soil do I need per Greenland Gardener Raised Garden Bed?

While there is no reason you must absolutely use a weed barrier, Greenland Gardener does recommend that some form of weed barrier be used when planting a vegetable, fruit, herb or flower garden.
