Answer

Raised beds or ground-level planting: which is better?

Raised beds for reach, drainage and poor soil; ground level for a natural look and larger schemes.

In short

Raised beds bring planting within reach, warm up faster, drain better and suit poor or heavy soil; ground-level planting is more natural and cheaper and suits larger schemes. Many gardens use both, and we choose for the soil, the look and how you like to garden.
