Many of us struggle with the amount of room we have to successfully garden. If you have a do-it-from–scratch handicap, then you can thank the ingenious people who thought to mass produce ready-made raised beds. Raised beds have typically been one layer, however, now innovation has produced three tiered and four tiered beds that give you that much more space to grow things. All without taking up  precious extra space.

In planning for next year, if you are squeezed for land in which to garden, you might want to consider the following products: the Four Level Garden Pyramid and the Strawberry & Herb Terrace Kit.

The Four Level Garden Pyramid is actually made from HDPE (HIGH-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE) recycled milk jugs – yay! Another use for milk jugs. It comes in four different colors: white, green, weathered wood, and cedar. This eco friendly raised bed saves on our trees, reduces landfill waste and recycles a much-used item. It also comes with a 25 year warranty and has the capacity to cover 16 vertical square feet of gardening.  Its cost is $245 plus shipping at Green Culture.

The Strawberry & Herb Terrace Kit is currently on sale at Green Culture for approximately 40% off. It is three tiered and instead of a rectangle/square design, it is circular.  This vertical bed has a built-in watering system, comes with a plastic frost cover, support frame, stakes and pest netting. It is made of aluminum and has a two-year warranty.  Regular price – $241.52 – marked-down to $152.16.
