For a high bed it is necessary to make a depression 10-15 cm. Compost, manure and other fertilizers are laid there. Then everything is covered with earth, a fence is made along the perimeter. Its thickness depends on your preferences. For example, if you make a thick fence, then you can put flowerpots, sit down during weeding or use for other needs. The width of such beds is preferably about 150 cm, and the height is about 30 cm. They should be located from east to west, and annual plants are recommended for them, because the soil in winter is too frost-free. Perennials will grow or be bad, or even die. Between the beds is maintained a fairly large distance: about a meter. This is done for convenience and beauty: usually the furrow is sown with a lawn, or covered with small pebbles. On high beds, vegetables grow particularly well, which are very fond of fertilizers. The period of use of the bed is about 7-10 years, after which it is necessary to dig out the recess again and lay a fresh fertilizer.
