The Windrow Composting system is noted as a sustainable, cost-efficient way for farmers to manage dairy waste. Movement of castings through a worm bed The second type of large-scale vermicomposting system is the raised bed or flow-through system. Here the worms are fed an inch of "worm chow" across the top of the bed, and an inch of castings are harvested from below by pulling a breaker bar across the large mesh screen which forms the base of the bed. Because red worms are surface dwellers constantly moving towards the new food source, the flow-through system eliminates the need to separate worms from the castings before packaging.

260px Raised-bed gardening is a form of gardening in which the soil is enclosed in three-to-four-foot-wide (1.0–1.2 m) containment units ("beds"), which are usually made of wood, rock, or concrete and which can be of any length or shape. The soil is raised above the surrounding soil (approximately six inches to waist-high) and may be enriched with compost. Vegetable plants are spaced in geometric patterns, much closer together than in conventional row gardening. The spacing is such that when the vegetables are fully grown, their leaves just barely touch each other, creating a microclimate in which weed growth is suppressed and moisture is conserved.

Before the Bottom became a park, the raised bed of the rail line had largely separated the wetlands from the river. The south part of the wetlands had been altered by a sanitary landfill that the city acquired in 1969 to prevent its development as industrial land. The city later filled the north end of the park with debris from construction of Interstate 405 through downtown Portland. The plan in the early 1970s was to fill the rest of the wetlands and to use the space for museums, perhaps a motocross course, and a gondola lift to transport visitors from the top of the bluff to the park.

In April 2012, Middlesboro became the first city in the United States to have a community-wide organic garden, which features 60 raised-bed gardens that will be used to grow food for people in the community.

Adding manure and/or compost can help to boost the amount of organic material present in the soil which in turn helps to add essential nutrients. Specifically, the addition of a 2- to 3-inch layer of compost and/or manure should be mixed into the soil to approximately match the depth of a shovel. The addition of organic material also helps to improve the drainage of the soil and also helps to decrease the overall weight of the soil. A garden planted in a raised bed However, microorganisms in the soil consume the same nutrients that plants use to grow so certain nutrients will remain unavailable to plants until the microorganisms completely break down the organic material and release nutrients.

Wooden ties recycled as sculptures at Northfield railway station Stone block from the Scotch gauge Ardrossan Railway used to construct a loading dock In recent years, wooden railroad ties have also become popular for gardening and landscaping, both in creating retaining walls and raised-bed gardens, and sometimes for building steps as well. Traditionally, the ties sold for this purpose are decommissioned ties taken from rail lines when replaced with new ties, and their lifespan is often limited due to rot. Some entrepreneurs sell new ties. Due to the presence of wood preservatives such as coal tar, creosote or salts of heavy metals, railroad ties introduce an extra element of soil pollution into gardens and are avoided by many property owners.

High Street, Benwick, East Cambridgeshire, built on a roddon Houses built on a roddonAstbury uses the term rodham here at Prickwillow, East Cambridgeshire A roddon, also written as rodham, roddam or rodden, is the dried raised bed of a watercourse such as a river or tidal-creek, especially in The Fens in eastern England. Such raised silt and clay-filled beds are ideal for settlement in the less firm peat of The Fens. Many writers have followed the archaeologist Major Gordon Fowler's preference for the word roddon to define such structures though modern researchers suggest the word rodham is the more correct local word. Oak preserved in peat through which roddons passed has been dated to around 4000 years before present (BP).

Since its opening in June 2014, Birmingham Student Housing Co-operative has charged students a relatively low price for accommodation whilst making significant improvements to the property. Whilst many of these improvements have been made by the tenants or friends of the tenants living within it or hired professionals using their own co-op's budget, other improvements have only been possible so quickly with financial contributions for home improvements from The Phone Co-op. As of December 2016, improvements include: converting part of the huge lounge into a reasonably sized eighth bedroom, converting an unused garage into a large ninth bedroom, erecting a greenhouse, erecting a shed, installing a curtain rail and curtains in the lounge, installing shelving in the lounge-kitchen-bedrooms, installing a large raised bed in the garden and re-building a garden wall.

These techniques were brought to the United States by Alan Chadwick in the 1930s.Travis Beck and Martin F. Quigley, Intensive Organic Gardening, Ohio State University Extension Factsheet A garden is more than just a means of providing food, it is a model of what is possible in a community - everyone could have a garden of some kind (container, growing box, raised bed) and produce healthy, nutritious organic food, a farmers market, a place to pass on gardening experience, and a sharing of bounty, promoting a more sustainable way of living that would encourage their local economy.

The Portland Community Gardens project addressed the problem that the city's residents, schools and housing developments faced a long waiting list for garden plots; it received funding between 2010 and 2011 which enabled it to create 150 new garden plots, and further funding in 2012. The project has helped to plan new school/community gardens, and has liaised with other organizations to increase access to gardens, fund irrigation, and provide new school gardens. Food for Oregon, a community food programs database intended to increase local food security, describes the Portland Community Gardens project and gives its budget as $100,000-$499,999 annually. The Portland organization "Growing Gardens" states that "We organize hundreds of volunteers to build organic, raised bed vegetable gardens in backyards, front yards, side yards and even on balconies", working with low income households, school garden clubs and community members to produce organic vegetables to get "at the root of hunger in Portland, Oregon".
