Container gardening that allows the roots to reach into soill under it when its an open bottom. The deeper the bed, the more vegetable variety you can have, but downside is the deeper the bed, the more irrigation regulation you need to avoid beds drying out.

The key to success lies in selecting the right plants, tailored to the specific light water, and soil conditions of your site. Discuss these factors with your Garden Coach to bring your vision to life.
