Operating Instructions
Placement and Filling
Choose a suitable outdoor location for your raised garden bed. The half-moon design allows it to be placed against a wall or used as a standalone feature. Fill the bed with appropriate soil and compost for your chosen plants.
Drainage System
The Aoodor raised garden bed features an open-bottom design. This allows for direct drainage into the ground, preventing waterlogging and promoting healthy root development. This design is particularly beneficial in rainy areas or with poorly draining native soils, as it reduces the risk of root rot.

Planting
Once filled with soil, you can begin planting your desired vegetables, flowers, or herbs. The elevated height of the bed makes gardening more accessible and reduces strain.
Maintenance
The Aoodor Galvanized Raised Garden Bed is designed for minimal maintenance due to its premium materials.
- Material Durability: Constructed from galvanized steel with a zinc coating, the bed is inherently rust-resistant and durable, suitable for various outdoor conditions.

- Edging Inspection: Regularly check the rubber edging for any signs of wear or displacement to ensure it remains securely in place and continues to provide safety.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your raised garden bed.
- Issue: Instability after assembly.
Solution: Ensure all screws, nuts, and washers are fully tightened. Verify the garden bed is placed on a level surface. - Issue: Water pooling in the bed.
Solution: The open-bottom design should prevent water pooling. Check if the ground beneath the bed is compacted or has poor drainage. Consider adding a layer of gravel at the bottom of the bed before adding soil to improve drainage if the underlying soil is very heavy clay. - Issue: Sharp edges exposed.
Solution: Re-check the installation of the rubber edging along the top rim. Ensure it is fully seated and covers all exposed metal edges.
