Planting & Care Guide

• Sowing Time: Start planting as soon as the risk of frost has passed—typically March to May for most UK regions.
• Soil Preparation: Fill with quality compost or a mix of topsoil and organic matter. Raised beds warm up faster in spring—ideal for early crops.
• Irrigation: Water regularly during dry spells; raised beds may dry out quicker than ground-level plots.
• Crops & Flowers: Suitable for salad greens, root vegetables, strawberries, culinary herbs or bedding plants. Rotate crops annually to maintain soil health.
• Pest Management: Check regularly for pests; consider companion planting (e.g., marigolds with tomatoes) to naturally deter unwanted insects.

Design Tips & Usage Ideas

• Create a kitchen garden by mixing herbs like basil and parsley with leafy greens.
• Add pollinator-friendly flowers such as calendula or nasturtiums among vegetables for colour and biodiversity.
• Use multiple beds to separate crops by type or stagger harvest times throughout the season.
