Place the raised bed on grass or soil. Add kitchen scraps to the compost basket at its center, and they’ll decompose naturally to nourish the surrounding plants, help retain soil moisture and reduce watering needs. Made from BPA- and phthalate-free PVC, the lightweight bed assembles easily without tools or screws. The company also gives back by supporting sustainable gardening programs in Africa and around the world. $239.99.A ‘just-right’ gardening toolA cross between a long-handled shovel and a handheld trowel, Sneeboer’s Great Dixter Planting Spade
