Part 2/7:
One of the first mistakes novice gardeners make is choosing dimensions that are too large. The ideal size for a raised bed, according to the gardener, is 4 feet wide and 8 feet long. A 4x8 bed is manageable for almost anyone. This size allows easy access to the center without fear of trampling, making it convenient to reach plants from either side.
You also need to consider the paths between the beds. The gardener suggests having paths that are a little over 2 feet wide to ensure comfortable maneuverability. This consideration prevents awkward positions when tending to your plants.
