Why Choose a Raised Garden Bed in Australia?

Raised beds are booming across Aussie suburbs and cities, and for good reason.

They create the perfect space to grow veggies, herbs and flowers in any climate or yard size. Benefits include:

• Faster soil warming for quicker seed germination
• Improved drainage and airflow
• Fewer weeds than in-ground plots
• Easier access for planting and harvesting—no more bending awkwardly!

Keter raised garden beds offer all these perks, blended with a low-maintenance, good-looking design that suits modern lifestyles. Their all-weather resin means your bed won’t rot, crack or splinter, even with summer sun or winter rain.

Meet the Vista Garden Bed: Simple, Stylish & Beginner-Friendly

The Keter Vista Garden Bed (Brown) is at the centre of Keter’s Australian garden collection. It features a classic timber-look brown finish (matched to Aussie fence and deck colours) and a strong, wide planting area for a bumper crop.

• Stylish brown garden bed design fits patios, courtyards or balconies
• Deep trough for easy vegetable gardening, great for carrots, tomatoes, herbs and lettuces
• Resin construction keeps it lightweight and weatherproof year-round
• No painting, oiling or lining required wipe clean and it’s ready every season

The Vista can be positioned directly on paving, gravel or lawn, making it an affordable pick for backyard upgrades and urban gardening solutions.

Planning: How to Set Up a Garden Bed for Success

1. Choose Your Location:
   Pick a spot that gets at least 6-8 hours of sun each day for most vegetables. The Alfresco's compact size means you can easily tuck it onto a balcony or small courtyard perfect for small space gardening.

2. Assembly:
   Our raised beds are supplied as simple kits with a click-together design. No power tools required, simply follow the step-by-step instructions.

3. Soil and Filling (How Much Soil Do I Need?)
   For the Raised Garden Bed, you’ll want enough premium soil mix to fill the deep trough. While the site does not specify exact litres or cubic meters, you can measure your bed’s length, width and depth for a rough calculation. Take the dimensions to your nearest nursery for advice on the best soil for garden beds (aim for veggie-specific mixes for the best results).

4. Drainage:
   The resin body provides great drainage, meaning no waterlogged roots.

5. Planting:
   Whether you’re keen on tomatoes, leafy greens or blooming flowers, you’ll find the Vista works for all. Rotate crops or replant seasonally for constant productivity.

Best Soil for Garden Beds: Tips for Success

For veggie success, start with premium organic vegetable mix, ask your nursery or store for the best soil for garden beds. Layer with compost for extra nutrients. Raised beds often drain better, so water more regularly during hot spells, and top up mulch to keep roots cool.

Top tip: Add slow-release fertiliser and renew your soil blend at the start of each season for the biggest crops.

Planting in Vista Bed or Raised Planter: What Grows Well?

• Lettuces, spinach and rocket (cool weather)
• Tomatoes, beans and capsicum (warm months)
• Herbs like parsley, basil and mint
• Strawberries and dwarf fruits

Mix flowers like marigolds or nasturtiums in for companion planting—a natural way to boost pollination and deter pests.
