Raised bed or in ground? (kbin.social)

I have room and soil for an in ground garden, but raised bed seem to be all the rage. Should I just go in ground because I have the space? I also should mention o have a bunch of spare wood from a fence teardown that I can use for raised bed gardens.

If the ground is nice soil (not too hard, rocky, sandy, or filled with builders rubbish) then its really personal preference. Raised beds are good if you have a bad back and people are less likely to walk through them leading to compacted dirt. But straight into the ground is also fine, you dont need to source dirt to fill it, and I find turning the soil over is easier when its straight in the ground.
