Plants – Growing Better on Mounds of Soil
Q: Why do some plants grow better in the garden when they are planted in a mound of soil?
A: Planting in a mound or a raised bed gives plants better root drainage and faster soil warming in spring. Roots can readily explore the soil to find a level where they are most comfortable.
