# New to this app. I’m not skilled with plants and have a disability so…

New to this app. I’m not skilled with plants and have a disability so I have a landscaper take care of major gardens. But I’m trying to grow herbs since I love to cook.

Question for the community: When I add the herbs in my app it asks me whether they are in the ground or a pot. I actually have a raised bed with a mesh liner and drainage holes. How should I characterize how the herbs are planted?

I say my raised beds are “in ground” because although it is like a giant pot the watering schedules and advice are much more accurate when you say it’s planted in the ground.

I would absolutely say it was inground so it will register when it rains among other things instead of it thinking it’s in a pot on a balcony or something  
Also, I have horrible back problems are raised beds worth it?

Yes they are! I’m on crutches so getting up and down is too stressful. I got mine on Amazon and it’s working great. I had my handyman put wheels on it so I can move it when the sun shifts.
