40 Minute Veggie Garden Bed - Easy Gardening Tutorials 

70yrs old and been wanting to do raised beds but didn’t want the measuring, drilling and cutting. So I defaulted to container gardening. Next year if the Lord says the same I’m using your method along with a few ideas in the comments. HUGE thank you for sharing the knowledge.

Great idea for expanding a raised bed. Love the corner blocks,SO EASY! For mine, I made it taller. As an older person, I know I don't want to bend over into that garden. I also have dogs. I don't want them in the garden either. Another reason mine is 4 ft tall.

I love it! Allows you to make them what ever size you need! Thank you

This is so inspiring! Thank you! Btw new subbie🦋🌹💜

So u put the dirt down first..thn the tarp

could someone please tell me what these corner blocks are called and where to purchase ? thank you

I need help with my garden😢

I tell everyone to use those bricks. They're quite inexpensive. Also, people throw them away when they redo their landscape. Just grab 'em when you see them.

I told a Lowe’s employee that I wanted to do a raised bed and she showed me these. She said a 2x4 will fit. They had a demo up with two 4x4s flush against each other to create sort of a ledge. They were nailed together. It would cost under $40 per bed depending on the length. They can also cut the wood for you. Thanks for sharing. It’s nice to see someone putting it together.

I love these blocks. I've been using them for a couple of years now. My back yard looks just like the beginning of this video. I need to stop playing on this damn phone and get to planting. 😮

One major improvement. Use cardboard instead of weed mat. That stuff is so annoying to get rid of, just use cardboard. 10-12 inches of compost/potting soil is plenty to prevent weeds from germinating from the original soil level. Plus cardboard is free and breaks down.

If you use 2x12x8 board ,you don't need two pieces on the smaller side and it will be flusher against the brick. Also use sticks and leaves in the bottom, you will save on soil.

Use cardboard it will suppress the weeds and breakdown later on to help improve your soil. 2x12x8 us the best size to fit between the blocks. Use leaves and branches in the bottom of the bed . They will breakdown to also enrich your soil.

I saw your video from last year and did this for my mothers garden. got 4 4ft x 8f garden beds rn. Fertilizing them and getting them ready for plants in the spring.

Lowes had a display of this, except they layered it. So it was 3 Tiers. The lowest level had tall flowers, the middle had regular veggies & the top layer had herbs. Layers were staggered.

Thanks! It is easy to make this raised garden bed. I made one the day after I saw your video!

This is such a great things for people getting into the garden space. So accessible!

I would add bricks on top of her existing bricks until it gets 32" high ( my knees take a beating when I bend) Lower Back is healthier as well without leaning down.

This is AWESOME!!!! I can't kneel or squat, so I could drill holes in the center of the corner blocks, stack them, and anchor them with rebar - voila, high raised beds! I'm so glad you shared this, Kate!

using Cardboard instead of a plastic anti-weed sheet lets microorganisms move into your raised beed and improve the quality of your soil there drastically :-)

Wow. That is a smart design 👏

Nice job! I'm so inspired I can't wait for spring.

Awe heck yeah!!!! Loving this!!❤❤❤ Thank you!! Great Idea!! I think I'd paint the wood with the rubberized coating for tool handles to protect it longer from water, and install tiny square metal mesh on the bottom under plant fabric, and usec1/4-1/2 inch of sand on top to prevent insects and maintain moisture ❤ also could use L- brackets in the corners??

Can you make a list of everything you purchased? please@ i want to do this so bad!! Do you have any recommendations for the best soil?

Love it! I found out how I'm going to do my raised flower bed, thanks to you!!!

Where'd them easy beds come from? Awesome x

What soil did you use ?

Thank you so much for sharing! My girls 4 and 9 are looking forward to starting our first garden together!!

I always wonder why those blocks are like that, now I know.

🌹

Those planter wall blocks are in high demand. If you don't purchase early in the year, they are hard to find. However once you have them, starting a raised bed for growing is just this simple!

So that’s what those are for.

We bought the same beds for my mum at Lowe’s for Mother’s Day. The store even will cut the wood for you ! We forgot to buy the rebar that goes in the holes of the bricks. I see you also didnt add them. Works well but eventually the weight does move / shift everything around without them. Great video ! Happy Gardening

Cost of having these bricks is much more than buying a block to place between the long/short boards and nailing in place. If you two blocks for greater height, of course the cost goes up.

Always use heirloom seeds from Hoss Seeds in Moultie Ga or your local nursery. Never buy plants from big box stores. I burn my soil with a propane burner every spring to kill grass seeds and pest. It works.

I stopped putting a weed barrier under the beds because i add more compost after every harvest and use an electric mini tiller to turn it in. I garden year round so i till often. The tines would catch the liner and pull it up. Raised beds are easy to weed. 5 minutes a day and they are kept clear.

I like these blocks but I've never seen them in Australia.😢

Can I do a off the ground raised bed with this method? Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

What are those BRILLIANT corner blocks? Where do you buy them from? Great looking beds and, with those blocks, so easy to extend!

Wow! What are the measurements for the wood? Thanks

Nice I will give that a try. Where did you get the block.

Thank you. I've never thought of doing this 😆😆😆 thank you for sharing

Any way to see the list and names of the soils, blocka and all the materials?

HUNAAAYYYY ❤❤❤❤didnt feel like cultivating my land this year thank you Beloved 😘💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

God I love this

Excellent idea!😊🌻🌸🦋

Lowe's doesn't sell to Europe. Why 😮? They should enter the market really quickly because elseway, there's going to pop up a knock-off from China on Amazon. This is a really good idea.

They are not offered in local home depot

Thank you so much. I'm so excited to get started!

What they dont tell you is these blocks are earwig heaven. Normally ok in gardens even beneficial, but in swarms they will decimate any new plants you put in before there big enough to femd for themselves. I put in beds with these blocks and it was a nightmare just knocking down their numbers to a safe level.

Eewww Kellog’s soil🤢. My garden hated. It was a bit too hot. To be fair, it worked fine for me the previous season. Your garden looks great!

On the plastic at the bottom.. is it water permeable ?? I'd go with cardboard or something biodegradable instead, although there's serious risks of PFAFs in that too apparently ( and yes, it's everywhere now, but limiting our and our food's exposure still helps cut our personal risks). No offense meant ! Just airing relevant concerns & ideas. We'd want something biodegradable, if any barrier down at bottom at all ( not necessarily necessary if you're putting in over a few in. of soil. Anything tough that doesn't need light to be encouraged would prob. come through anyway - well, MAYBE not thru tough plastic- and anyway, ya just pull or cut it a few times and it dies). Mow grass short a few times in a row (every day or 2) to weaken it &/or cover with black plastic for a few weeks or months, to get best results without burying plastic. Am against burying plastic due to needing the soil to be able to not only drain water, but wick it up, & your bed soil to share fungal highways and all the soil biology going on, with below and abroad. It's the soil life and health that's your fertility, fed mainly by living/photosynthesizing plants in it, it turns out. Not so much stuff we add to it. See content by soil scientist Elaine Ingram or farmer Jesse Frost and others for more on that. Absolutely love using those corner blocks, no need to worry about nails or screws etc. ever coming loose and getting into soil. Now, only concern is anything in the concrete blocks or wood that may not be safe, but far as I know there are safe options of those (?).

I can't tell if those blocks had center holes. If so, double the height, fill the bottom with branches, leaves, and other yard refuse. A taller bed means less bending over. I believe a movement efficient specialist found the optimal size for the average person was 2 ft tall, and an 8 foot by 4 foot bed offered optimal reaching space, provided you could walk around the bed. Aestheticaly, lower beds are nice in creating vertical spaces of plants, when filling out areas. A layered look of vegetation.

Cardboards is way better than a weed liner unless you’re going to use your chicken feed bag which is also great for your garden it keeps the weeds away

FYI: 2 foot rebar stakes go through that middle hole in the blocks. Or eventually the weight of the soil will push that top row out.

That is so cool with the pieces on the side that holds it all together. I got some wood to make the raised beds I know I’m getting it in late ⏰ better late than never. I really like how you showed putting it all together!! I would prefer those things on the end that the boards slide into. I asked may be I didn’t have the name right. I should of gotten a nail gun might have to go back and get the cheapest one. Just think 🤔 it would be easier that way also

You don't need weed block there's gunna be weeds anywhere there is soil. Just look at the cracks in a driveway. Better to looses the soil under the bed and allow the garden plants to reach deep this will result in more resilient plants.

If you look closely at the blocks you can see a hole through the center... Should be able to drive rebar down through all the blocks and add even more stability.

Good, but maybe put cardboard down instead of plastic below where you’re growing food.

Do you get treated wood blocks? Wondering if they would rot using normal 2x4s

Can anyone tell me exactly what I need to fill a 8x4x1 ft raised bed?? Really struggling with figuring out what to buy. I’m a beginner gardener. Thanks!

Needs the rebar put in the corner braces to make it sturdy. This project isn’t sturdy without them.

How is it no sawing though if you’ve got two different lengths? This is an awesome idea, but I don’t have a saw.

what are the corner things called

No drilling no sawing?. Where & how did those grooves get in the corners for the boards to slide perfectly into?

Hi i wanted to see what size boards you need to gor the long way i know you will need 4 2x6 on the sides but how long for the front

What weed block is that? How thick is it? Does it give good drainage?

I'm so trying this way of doing a garden bed.

Love your channel ❤ #scsoutherngardengirl

We love these new blocks. I have done 6 so far 😂. I had Lowe’s cut my wood so that all I had to do was assemble. My husband complemented me on how well I did at getting them even 😂

Instead of wood I would make a mold for conrete sides. It would be cheaper and last forever.

Wow thank so much! Just what I needed to see! ❤

I'm trying to find thise corner blocks un my country . What do I google?

No need a piece of mat

Do you make the corner blocks or can you buy them precut like this?

Can you explain where you got the block and show one?

I use IKEA bags Large and cardboard. The important thing is to grow your own. No excuses.😍

You don't pit rubber as a bottom, ya gotta have drainage!

Where do you buy those?

What happens when it rains a lot and your planter gets Flooded?

anyone know the item number for the blocks? i cant find it.

Instead of weed block, can I use trash bags?

Dónde conseguir esos bloques, desde España🤷‍♀️

What are these blocks called? I need to know what to ask for 😊

Brilliant idea 😊😊 Thank you 🙏

What type of compost did you use and what size wood was used?

Lol

Haha That’s smart thinking Thank you

Where do you find the corner blocks? Neither Lowe's nor Home Depot sell them in my area...

the soil probably cost more than a truck of lettuce or carrots.

why you use plastic below?

I wish it wasn’t going so fast like this Watched 5 times and can’t see what your using for dirt in the bags :(

Where can I purchase this easy bed from?

ru-vid.comMHJs-ZI8qcQ?si=mNOTlWMc7tRFpNQr here's mine..., it took me all day but I had no idea what I was doing and I didn't research... I just grabbed my tool and let my creativity go wild....

Could you please name the blocks used?

New gardener here: why did you put down soil first then the plastic over it? What does that do?

Thanks for this great idea

Where can I find these corner blocks?

Oh my goodness, this is genius

❤BRILLIANT
