Greenfingers 2 in 1 Raised Garden Bed 240 x 80 x 45cm – Galvanised Planter Box, One Long Bed or Two Short Beds

Greenfingers 2 in 1 Garden Bed: One Long Bed or Two Separate Beds

The Greenfingers 240 x 80 x 45cm Raised Garden Bed gives you a choice. Join the panels to build one long 240cm bed along a fence or path, or set them up as two separate 120 x 80cm beds to fit different parts of the garden. Both options stand 45cm high, giving deep soil for vegetables, herbs, flowers and strawberries. Made from galvanised SGCC steel with an epoxy powder coating in aluminium grey, it's quick to assemble and built for outdoor growing.

Flexible Layout for Any Garden

A single long bed makes the most of narrow spaces beside fences, driveways and paths. Two separate beds are handy if your sunny spots are in different areas, if you want a path between beds, or if you'd like to keep herbs close to the kitchen door and vegetables further out. You can also start with one layout and change it later if your garden plans change.

Galvanised Steel, Rounded Edges

Galvanised SGCC steel with an epoxy powder coating resists rust and weather and won't rot or attract termites like timber. Rounded safety edges along the top help protect hands and arms while you work. The corrugated panels add rigidity, and the aluminium grey finish suits modern and traditional gardens.

What Can You Grow in a 240 x 80 x 45cm Raised Bed?

With almost 2 square metres of growing area and 45cm of soil, you can plan a productive bed using companion planting, where plants that help each other grow side by side:

• Tomatoes with basil and marigolds: basil is a classic partner for tomatoes, and marigolds are a popular border plant in veggie beds.
• Carrots with onions or leeks: a traditional pairing that makes good use of space.
• Lettuce and spinach between taller crops: leafy greens enjoy a little shade from tomatoes and beans in summer.
• Climbing beans or peas at one end on a trellis, with cucumbers or zucchini nearby.
• Strawberries along the sunny front edge.

If you set it up as two beds, you can rotate crops between them each season: fruiting crops like tomatoes in one bed and leafy greens and roots in the other, then swap.

Is a Galvanised Planter Good for Herbs?

Yes. Most herbs thrive in raised beds, where drainage is good and the soil warms quickly. Rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage and lavender love free-draining soil and full sun, while basil, parsley, coriander and chives prefer richer, moist soil. One 120 x 80cm bed makes a generous herb garden on its own. Keep mint in a separate pot sunk into the bed, as it spreads quickly and can take over.

How Much Soil Do You Need?

As one 240 x 80 x 45cm bed, it holds about 0.86 cubic metres of soil. Each 120 x 80 x 45cm bed holds about 0.43 cubic metres. Allow an extra 10 to 15 percent for settling.
