- Consider your climate and growing season.
Prepare the Soil:
- Test your soil to understand its composition and pH level.
- Add compost or organic matter to improve soil quality.
Plant Your Seeds/Seedlings:

User: Could you suggest a layout for a small 4×4 raised bed garden?
Garden Planning & Landscaping GPT: Absolutely! Here’s a simple layout for a 4×4 raised bed garden:
- Top Row: 2 Tomato plants
