Best Start for PlantsIf the area around the bed has a weed membrane laid down with bark or gravel on top, it will
form a barrier to stop slugs and snails from getting into the bed, and since the soil will have no eggs in it, you will be starting a strong pest controlled environment straight away. Any slug pellets needed can be spread around the outside of the bed, and kept away from any growing plants.
Grow beds are ideal for new plant life thanks to their faster warming soil and box design, perfect for nets and other aids.
