Awasome Raised Bed Garden Orientation New England Extension 2023. Each bed can be any length, depending on what suits your site and garden plan, but orientation of the bed can be important because it can determine the amount of sun plants receive. Determine the north/south axis of the site and lay out the beds either in a north/south or east/west direction, not on a diagonal.
This becomes an even greater requirement with additional raised garden beds or larger planting spaces to round out your outdoor planting needs. Assessing your existing garden bed is the first step in determining how to extend its height. Start by measuring the current height of your garden bed and then decide how much higher you want it to be.
