Bed height decides both what you can grow and how much you have to bend. Eight to ten inches is enough for lettuce, greens and herbs; root crops, tomatoes and shrubs want twelve to eighteen inches of soil depth or more.

Four feet is the practical width limit if you can reach from both sides, two feet if the bed is against a wall — you should never need to step into a bed, because compacted soil is the thing raised beds exist to avoid.

Galvanised steel beds warm soil earlier in spring and last decades; cedar and redwood resist rot without treatment; composite and plastic sit between the two. Whatever the frame, budget for the soil, which is usually the larger cost.
