DIY Raised Garden Bed!

DIY Raised Garden Bed



Are you in the mood to do some gardening this year? This easy DIY Raised Garden Bed can be assembled in under 20 minutes.   You’ll be growing vegetables and delicious herbs before you know it!

Supplies Needed to Make Your DIY Raised Garden Bed:

Three 8 ft. long Cedar Boards or Trex Boards

(I recommend a 12″ – 18″ wide board, depending on how much soil depth you prefer)

8 Galvanized Corner Braces

1 1/4 in. Galvanized Screws

Instructions:

    1. When selecting your boards at the store, I recommend laying each board down on the floor (testing each flat surface of the board) to check for warps.
    2. Cut one of the 8 ft. board in half, so you have two 4 ft. long boards.  If you don’t have a saw, your nearest Home Depot or Lowe’s will often cut the boards in store for you, at little to no cost.
    3. Select a sunny patch in your yard to assemble the DIY Raised Garden Bed.
    4. Using a level, place your 4 ft. boards across the end of your 8 ft. boards, creating a rectangular box.
    5. On the inside of each corner, attach and secure two L-brackets using galvanized screws (one bracket 2-3 inches from the top, and one bracket 2-3 inches from the bottom).
    6. If you have an irrigation system for your yard, you can now run dripper lines into your planter box. You can run the lines under the box, or drill a hole and run the lines through the side of the box.
    7. Once you have completed the raised garden box, you can add dirt and start gardening!  Wasn’t that easy?

    I tried gardening a few times now, and I can’t even grow green onions properly. But I think I want to make a gardening bed this time, and use the right soil and materials for better results
