We made the decision to convert to raised bins after maintaining in ground vegetable beds for 5 years. During that time, our largest obstacle was dealing with the constant damage caused by marauding scrub turkeys and bandicoots. We tried to install several rounds of (temporary) fencing to address this issue. However, the solution was not effective for us.
We really enjoy having wildlife in our zone 1 garden areas. So, the idea of raised bins seemed like a reasonable compromise. In the end, we were won over by the advantages (including improved wildlife protection, easier access, less weeding and better drainage). However, we did also have to consider a few disadvantages (including relatively high purchase cost, increased evaporation rates and limited product life).
We have had our bins for 9 months now and have been very happy with the results so far. However, as always, please do your own research to make the best decision for your unique situation...
