Raised-bed gardening
is a form of gardening in which the soil is formed in 3 to 4 foot wide beds,
which can be of any length or shape. The soil is raised above the surrounding
soil (approximately 6 inches to
waist-high), is sometimes enclosed by a frame generally made of wood, rock, or
concrete blocks, and may be enriched with compost.
The vegetable plants are spaced in geometric patterns, much closer
together than conventional row gardening. Source
