Introduction

So you want to grow your own food, but you don’t have a yard and live in an apartment? Or maybe you do have a yard and just don’t want to deal with the hassle of digging up your lawn to plant some raised garden beds. Whatever the case, there are plenty of pros and cons for both methods that might give you some insight before deciding on what works best for you.

In Ground Potting

In ground potting is the more convenient option. You can plant directly in the ground, which will save you a lot of time researching and preparing your soil. There’s also no need to worry about drainage for your plants, since you’re using what has already been there for decades. As long as you make sure that it’s ready to start with fertile soil, it’s easy to get started.

If you want to water your plants with any sort of regularity or precision (especially if they’re small or delicate), then in-ground potting is probably not going to work very well for you. It’s harder to get around this problem than raised bed gardening because there are fewer options when it comes down

to where exactly everything is going to go .

Raised Garden Beds

Raised garden beds are an easy way to get started with gardening. These beds are a cheaper option than putting in an in ground potting, as they’re easier to maintain and access, but they still allow you to grow your vegetables and fruits without having to worry about heavy soil or pests.

Raised garden beds are also easier than in ground potting because you don’t have to bend over so far when watering, weeding and harvesting crops that were planted there!

The pros and cons of raised garden beds vs. in ground potting.

In this section, we’ll cover the pros and cons of raised garden beds vs. in ground potting.

Pros:

• Raised Garden Beds have higher yields, but require more work. You can grow more plants in a smaller area with raised garden beds than you can with in-ground potting. This is because soil temperature stays warmer and there’s no compacted soil to contend with (which makes it difficult for roots to thrive). On the other hand, since the soil has less oxygen than what’s found in an open area like your backyard or front yard, it takes some effort to keep weeds at bay—you’ll need to weed regularly until the plants are mature enough that they compete well on their own. And since you won’t be able to plant right up next to your house without stepping on top of them as you walk around—because they’re elevated off the ground by a foot or so—you might feel slightly disconnected from nature while using these planters indoors!

Cons:

• In Ground Potting is easier (and cheaper) than building raised garden beds from scratch; however, once set up properly both options will require maintenance over time due simply because any type of containerized planting system requires regular attention from someone who knows what they’re doing when considering its overall healthiness/sanitation levels before reusing those containers again down future years after taking care of whatever issues arose during previous months’ use period(s).

Conclusion

At the end of the day, there’s no right or wrong answer as to which is better. You should choose the option that best suits your needs and lifestyle. If you want to save money on tools and equipment and have more flexibility in what types of plants you grow, then raised garden beds are probably for you! On the other hand, if you’re looking for something quick and easy with less maintenance requirements (such as watering), then in-ground potting may be more appropriate.
