Health

By growing your own vegetables, it makes it so easy to make sure you are consuming enough vegetables on a daily basis. You can have everything you need readily available.

Taste

Enjoy the peace of mind you don’t get from the supermarket by eating vegetables that are home grown. It will be obvious that fresh vegetables taste best.

Nutrition

If you grow your own vegetables you will know exactly what chemicals and pesticides, if any have been used, are amongst your garden.

Save money

Take notice of how your weekly food bill will decrease once you start consuming your homegrown vegetables. There will be a difference in price and quantity.

Location

Due to the size and shape of Stratcos raised garden beds they can be placed almost anywhere. For example, on top of concrete or paved surfaces where you would not normally be able to grow vegetables or herbs.

Longer growing season

The soil tends to be a little warmer than the earth so you can start your planting earlier and can continue longer through the season. However, you will need to keep a close watch on the soil moisture levels during the summer months.

Fewer weeds

As long as you have control over the soil in the raised garden bed there is also a chance that it will contain fewer weeds and those they may appear will be easier to remove.

So why not try it out? Growing your own vegetables and herbs is healthy and rewarding experience and enables the perfect solution to start growing your own garden today.
