Metal raised garden beds can be placed on concrete ground, grass, soil, rocks or fallen leaves. Usually, only the ground is level so that raised pots can be placed securely.
For gardeners, choosing a good raised bed kit and placing a metal raised garden bed in the right location is not only convenient for them to take care of in the future, but also can be used as a special decoration for their own backyard garden.
Our metal raised garden beds can be placed on concrete floors, grass, soil, ground, foliage and indoors. Whereas the indoor raised bed garden kit needs to support the bottom.
It is recommended to place some rocks at the bottom of the garden bed in a 32-inch garden bed, as the soil will settle and become compacted over time. The rocks at the bottom of the bed increase the space for excess water to drain from the roots of the plants.
If it is placed directly on the concrete floor, there is no need to consider the problem of weeds around it. And after exposure to the sun, concrete floors can get hot enough to heat the soil in the garden beds. It also speeds up plant growth. Isn't it nice?
Placing it on soil or grass allows the microbes in the garden bed to exchange with the microbes in the grass or soil. But if you need to place directly on the grass, be aware that the grass on the bottom will grow and absorb nutrients from the garden bed. It also increases pest problems. If you're going to put it on grass, it's best to remove the grass first.
Just put it on the leaves. For plants, fallen leaves and wood are fermented natural fertilizers, so a garden bed can also be placed directly over the leaves. But you need to make sure that the garden bed is placed securely and that there are no pest problems around.
Weeds can easily grow near fallen leaves, so it's best to place your flower bed where weeds won't grow. The fallen leaves can be fermented in the middle layer of the flower bed, or they can be covered in the outermost layer. Seeds or seedlings will also work.
With most of olle's metal raised garden bed kits, it doesn't matter where they are placed as long as they are placed securely. Some of these limitations are for the convenience and efficiency of the gardener's future care.

Not only does this improve drainage problems, but it also increases air circulation and improves pests, weeds, and more.
Factors to Consider When Placing Metal Raised Garden Beds
A: Sunlight: No matter where it is placed, the first thing to consider is sunlight. Light is essential for most plants, such as fruits, flowers, vegetables, and grains.
Of course, plants that don't like sunlight can also be considered indoors, but it should be noted that Vegega's metal raised flower beds are bottomless, so if you need to put them indoors, you need to find a material to fix the bottom to prevent just in case. Soil seepage.
B: Putting a garden bed in a vent is not a good option. Strong winds can easily break branches and leaves. So you can choose to place your garden bed in a sunny and breezy location.
C: Pest problem: If you put it directly on the concrete floor, you don't have to worry about the remaining pest problems. But if you put it on land or grass, you need to consider whether there has been a pest problem in the place before. If you've had this problem before, consider changing the location or fixing the problem before placing your garden bed.
D: Water source: You can generally choose manual watering, or you can install an irrigation system or pull a water pipe to water. But either way, it's always more convenient to be near a water source. In this way, as long as the water is not enough, we can water in time.
