Elevated beds with decent room to grow.....
Gardener's Supply has a couple of great elevated bed products that we pictured on our Great Resources page. The first one is a 4' x 8' bed that is 22" high. The height makes it easier to work on, especially if you like using a stool, and it allows for long root vegetables like carrots.
The second one has a garden bed area 3' x 6' (that's 18 square foot gardening sections) and it has a trellis that leans down to make a cover at night. So if you have little critters coming out for a midnight feast, you can say "not tonight."
The reasons we like these are: they are elevated and have enough space to grow plants. The first one gives you 32 square feet of gardening space, the second 18. Some of the smaller elevated beds are ok for a patio and a hobby, but if you want to grow more plants you will need at least this much room.
