Westchester Fully Enclosed Gardens With Raised Beds
The fully enclosed kitchen gardens are entirely enclosed or surrounded by fences and netting. The purpose of enclosing the garden is to protect them from pests, and creating a controlled environment for growing plants.
Here are some key features and benefits of a fully enclosed kitchen garden:
-
Pest Protection: Enclosing the garden helps prevent pests like rabbits, deer, birds, and insects from damaging or consuming the crops. This can lead to healthier plants and higher yields.
-
Controlled Environment: Enclosed gardens allow for better control over factors like temperature, humidity, and light exposure. This can be particularly useful for growing sensitive plants or extending the growing season.
-
Crop Rotation and Soil Management: Enclosed gardens make it easier to practice crop rotation and implement soil management techniques such as composting and mulching, leading to healthier soil and plants over time.
