Default Why are raised beds raised?

g'day chris,

yes it depends on personnal needs in the case of those who might have
health issues of different sorts, ours are about 12"s high now with no
edged but i can see the time coming when we will need to look at
bringing that height up to 20"-30"s, to cut down on stooping.

also having the soil higher helps with drainage.

see the pics of our beds on our site.
