Expansion
The GREEN MOUNT raised garden bed with trellis can be expanded by combining two or more units together. The Corner Connector Rods are routed on all 4 sides, allowing for easy assembly and expansion. To expand your garden bed

  1. Obtain an additional GREEN MOUNT raised garden bed with trellis unit.
  2. Follow the assembly instructions mentioned above for each unit.
  3. Place the units side by side and connect them using the Corner Connector Rods (C).

Soil Preparation
Proper soil preparation is essential for successful gardening. Follow these steps

  1. Fill the raised garden bed with high-quality soil. The ideal soil type is sandy loam, which is loose, well-draining, and rich in organic matter.
  2. Add a thick layer of compost that is at least 1-2 inches thick to maintain healthy soil.
  3. After the plants have stopped producing, add a layer of organic mulch to the garden bed along with the compost. This will ensure organic nutrients are added to the soil for spring planting.

Planting and Maintenance
Follow these tips for planting and maintaining your raised garden bed

  1. Plant your desired plants in the raised garden bed.
  2. Mulch the bed with straw, grass clippings, leaves, or wood chips after planting. This will reduce the amount of weeding required and keep the soil moist.
  3. Water lightly, thoroughly moistening the soil until the reservoir is full. Periodically drain excess water by unplugging the drainage plugs and refill the reservoir as needed.
  4. Add extra risers as plants grow. If you need more risers, they can be purchased from our online shop.
  5. At the end of the growing season, add a layer of organic mulch or plant a cover crop to protect and enrich the soil.

Note

  • If the trellis is high for you, it’s recommended to divide the rods you need into 2 parts to assemble and then install them on the planter box in turn.
  • To ensure all the tiers are securely attached, we advise you to pat the rods where they join after assembly to make them fasten firmly.

Raised Garden Bed Tips

  • Fill with Correct Soil – To ensure a higher yield, it is important to fill your raised garden bed with high-quality soil. The ideal soil type is sandy loam, which is essentially soil that is loose, well-draining, and rich in organic matter.
  • Add Compost – To maintain healthy soil, add a thick layer of compost that is at least 1-2 inches thick. Adding compost to your garden bed after the plants have stopped producing, along with a layer of organic mulch, will ensure that organic nutrients are added to the soil for spring planting.
  • Mulch After Planting – Mulch with straw, grass clippings, leaves, or wood chips after planting your garden. This will reduce the amount of weeding you’ll have to do and keep the soil moist.
  • Water lightly, thoroughly moistening the soil, until the reservoir is full. Unplug the drainage plugs to drain the excess water and refill the reservoir periodically thereafter as needed.
  • Add extra risers as plants grow. If you need more risers, please purchase from our online shop.
