Elevated Garden Beds: What the Specs Actually Say

If kneeling or bending has become less appealing, an elevated (legged) bed brings the soil up to you. Here is what one maker publishes, so you can compare honestly.

Our take

A 12" soil depth limits deep-rooted crops; if you want carrots or tomatoes, compare a tall raised bed instead (next guide). Check prices on the retailer page; we don't list them because they change.
