The most popular way to fill a raised garden bed is to layer it with a combination of soil organic materials, including hay, compost and manure.
What do you lay on the bottom of a raised bed?
Depending on your budget and gardening goals, you can line the bottom of your raised garden beds with wide-mesh hardware cloth, stainless steel mesh, landscape fabric, burlap sack, or newspaper/cardboard.
What is the best filling for a raised bed?
One of the best and easiest ways is to fill the bottom few inches with gravel or stone. This allows excess moisture from the soil to drain through quickly.
What to line inside raised bed?
You can line your raised bed to make it more durable and to prevent toxics from leaching into the soil. For lining, use landscape fabric found at garden supply stores or cloth fabric from clothing. Avoid non-porous plastic, as it can retain too much water and discourage beneficial insects and worms.
