Raised bed Gardens

I am putting this post on my blog to let you all know about one of the good techniques in gardening - Raised bed gardening. I just came to know about this concept few days back as I was browsing through the net. So, I just did a little more research on the "Raised bed gardening" on net and I have put all my thoughts into this post :). Raised bed gardens are also called garden boxes. Garden boxes or raised beds are very similar to the planters, the only difference being, these garden beds and boxes are left with an open bottom so that the plants can root themselves into the natural ground and get nutrients from there instead of confining it to an area as in planters.
