FAQ
What do you put on the bottom of a raised garden bed?
Nothing is required the Land Guard has an open base by design. This allows excess water to drain freely and lets roots grow deeper into the ground for better nutrient absorption.
Should your raised garden bed have a bottom?
No. An open base is actually better for most vegetables. It prevents waterlogging, encourages deeper root growth, and allows natural drainage exactly why the Land Guard is designed without a fixed bottom.
How often should I water a raised bed?
Generally every 1–2 days in summer and every 3–4 days in cooler months. The open base design of the Land Guard helps prevent overwatering by draining excess moisture naturally.
