Can multiple Grow Beds be used to create a bigger Grow Bed?
We are working on this with our manufacturer, but unfortunately, it is at least 2 to 3 months away. I will add you to our waitlist and notify you as soon as we have this option available.
You can also purchase a large raised garden bed from another store if you wish.
The walls of the raised bed should be a minimum of 33 cm high (1 foot plus 1 inch). There is no upper limit to the height, this depends on your preferred working height and if you need a taller bed to limit access by animals.
A good smaller size that will also provide some food growing space is 90 cm/3 feet wide by 1.5 meters/5 feet long. This will be filled by ¾ of a cubic metre/ 1 cubic yard of soil.
Shown below are a range of garden bed size options if you are building your own garden beds, or adding Subpods to existing garden beds:
