As for an “Anbauplan Hochbeet” or planting plan for a raised bed, it would be helpful to consider the following factors:
- The amount of sunlight your raised bed receives.
- The size and dimensions of your raised bed.
- Companion planting principles (pairing compatible plants together).

Keep in mind that different plants have different spacing requirements, so be sure to research and plan accordingly. Also, consider crop rotation to minimize pest and disease issues.
