The article discusses a home gardening project focusing on a raised planter for a small patio. After initially planning for a grill, the author opted for gardening instead and selected an elevated garden bed from Vego Garden. Upon collecting advice from professional gardener Becky Searle, it's noted that filling the garden bed completely is beneficial for providing plants with adequate water and nutrients, especially in conditions where sunlight is limited, like a north-facing patio.
It might feel like you're saving money by not filling it all the way, but the additional potting compost in the container will give your plants more access to water and nutrients.
It is especially important to maximize sun when you're working on a north-facing patio like this one where sunlight can be slight.
