Choosing the right bed depth makes a huge difference for root crops. 🥕🌱 Here’s a simple way to match plants to soil depth:
🪴 About 6 inches: lettuce, radishes, scallions
🌶️ About 12 inches: tomatoes, peppers, bush beans
🥕 About 18 inches: carrots, beets, parsnips
🥔 24+ inches: potatoes, sweet potatoes, daikon
Deeper beds hold moisture longer and give roots room to grow straight and strong.
