Sample beds

Beds someone has already thought through

Ten templates with a clear intent. Each one is calculated with the same planner you are about to use — and each can be carried over to your own location in one click.

• Your first summer

  Raised bed · 200 × 80 cm

  Four forgiving crops. Radishes are ready in a month, then the beans move in — the bed is never empty.

  

• Salad into November

  Raised bed · 120 × 80 cm

  Four leaf crops that hand over to each other. When the lettuce is done, the lamb’s lettuce is already waiting.

  

• Tomato and basil

  Raised bed · 120 × 80 cm

  The classic, properly timed: radishes use the weeks before the tomato is even allowed outside.

  

• Herbs by the kitchen door

  Planter box · 100 × 60 cm

  Five herbs you actually use. Thyme, sage and oregano stay put through the winter.

  

• With children

  Raised bed · 120 × 80 cm

  Quick to show and to eat: radishes in four weeks, strawberries to pick, nasturtium flowers in the salad.

  

• Balcony box

  Planter box · 100 × 40 cm

  100 × 40 cm is not much — enough for radishes, chives and thyme all the same. Not for lettuce: on its own it would need more room than the whole box has.

  

• Stores for winter

  Raised bed · 200 × 80 cm

  Carrot, onion, beetroot, kale and leek. They hold the bed all season — and there is still something out there in November.

  

• Good neighbours

  Raised bed · 160 × 80 cm

  Carrot next to onion, tomato next to basil. Six crops where none gets in another’s way.

  

• Quick harvest

  Raised bed · 120 × 80 cm

  Radish, spinach, kohlrabi — nothing here keeps you waiting. For anyone who wants to find out whether gardening is their thing.

  

• Bed in partial shade

  Raised bed · 160 × 80 cm

  Leafy crops cope with few hours of sun. Chard and chervil would rather skip the midday heat anyway.
