After soil processing, the construction of the bed is the next stage. The ideal width ranges from 1 to 1.2 meters, with a height of 40 to 50 cm.

The height can be adjusted to local soil conditions, especially to ensure maintained humidity without the risk of puddles when it rains. The length of the beden can be adjusted to the available area of land.

The distance between the beds should be set around 40-50 cm to facilitate the maintenance process and ensure effective drainage.
