Structures elevating soil in three distinct levels, constructed for horticultural purposes, enhance accessibility and optimize space utilization. These tiered constructions provide a contained environment for growing plants, typically built from wood, metal, or composite materials. An example is a wooden structure resembling a staircase, with each step serving as a planting area.
The adoption of multi-tiered elevated platforms for cultivation offers several advantages. They improve drainage, reduce soil compaction, and mitigate pest infestations. Their elevated nature lessens the physical strain associated with gardening. Historically, raised gardening techniques have been employed to cultivate crops in areas with poor soil quality or limited space, allowing for increased food production.
