The kit ships with pre-counted hardware and anti-cut safety strips, so you can assemble a stable, open-bottom raised bed quickly without specialized tools. Its beige finish fits many landscape styles and the open-bottom design lets roots access native soil while allowing natural drainage and aeration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow deep is the planting area and what crops can it support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bed provides a true 18-inch growing depth, giving plenty of room for deep-rooted vegetables, larger root crops and multi-plant groupings.
