We didn’t think we could make our best-selling elevated raised bed any better, but we did! Now, these no-bend garden boxes keep plants hydrated via a series of innovative, connected reservoirs that deliver water to roots on demand. Four generous 5-gallon reservoirs extend the time between waterings and create more even moisture throughout the bed. In tests, our crops grew stronger and taller — faster. And, since water is drawn primarily from the bottom instead of applied from the top, less water is lost to evaporation too! 10″ planting depth accommodates a variety of crops, from tomatoes to root-crops like carrots.

The height of the planter box has other advantages too: fewer weeds, reduced maintenance, and fewer critters nibbling at your prize plants. The sturdy aluminum legs won’t buckle or sag, and the wood is naturally rot-resistant and safe for your organic crops. You can add a food-safe protectant or our Vermont poly whey stain (sold separately) to make it last even longer.

For best results, we recommend filling with 17 bags of our premium potting mixes:

• Organic Raised Bed Mix (20 qts.)
• Self-Watering Potting Mix (20 qts.) 
• Organic Self-Watering Potting Mix (20 qts.)
