TO PRESERVE OR NOT TO preserve wooden-raised vegetable planters
For gardeners, the New Year marks the start of a new growing season. January and February are the months for sowing seeds for everything from cauliflower to leeks and onions to peas. At this time of year, this is done undercover, usually indoors, to protect from frost in preparation for planting out in the spring.

Raised vegetable beds or raised vegetable gardens have grown in popularity over the years, but why? Raised vegetable planters have various advantages over planting directly in the soil.
For starters, only some have access to a garden with bare soil or grass. Even if your garden planters have been paved over, a couple of wooden frames or raised vegetable beds can give you all the room you need to cultivate your own. Even with unused garden or lawn space, raised vegetable beds can sometimes be superior to growing straight into the ground.
If you don't want to dig up a portion of the lawn and dispose of the turf and excess soil, erecting a raised bed or two and filling it with compost can save you a lot of digging and the hassle of removing the turf layer and excess soil.
Raised cedar planters garden can be helpful in growing long-root vegetables like carrots and parsnips, as long as the planters are deep enough to accommodate the requisite soil depth. Carrots and other long-root vegetables can become deformed or stunted when left in the ground. This can be caused by stones or dense clumps of soil and clay, which are not a problem with a wooden frame filled with compost.
