My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

raised bed height for a 'bad back'

21 years ago

We put in our first raised bed last year and I love it. We are going to put in some more beds out back once we get our yard put back together. My back is bad and getting worse. Any of you out there raised your beds to heights that help lessen the bending? What has worked for you? I am thinking we could do one height between knee and hip for low lying plants. But I am wondering about the ideal height or different heights for beans, peas, etc. thanks for your input. bb in jax
