Fastest way to build a Raised Garden Bed 😲💯  

What size of that wood please

I used 2x6 boards

Do you have an idea what they have covered the inner part of wood ..

​@@RanisHomeLondonlooks like plastic sheet.

​@@RanisHomeLondon6 mil plastic.

Hugelkultur it. Yes

It says on the first comment section where to watch the full video! because you're watching RU-vid shorts

I don't think it can last longer than 3yrs if there is plenty rain like in Darwin where I live 😂

So you think pouring concrete under the bricks would help!

I think they might be using pressure treated boards. I get that it’s a strategy to keep the pressure treat from leeching into the bed but yeah I agree long term better would be heat treated and you don’t need the plastic then.

Dig down 4" under the blocks, place 3/4" stone and tamp down til level. Then place the corner blocks. Problem solved!

Why plastic? If it’s a food garden I would want no plastic

@@joansmith6844 For longevity of the garden bed. Wood rots, especially when it's constantly being watered, and the chemicals from pressure treated wood will slowly leech into the soil too. Otherwise you have to keep replacing the beds every few years.

@@richelleg225 Thank you for your answer I know he reply to somebody about the plastic and where to get it from and he does NOT use treated wood If someone was making a food garden not sure why they’d wanna poison themselves But you would have to really secure that plastic not just staple it to corners or I would have to go over the edge to save the wood from rotting- not JUST on its side , water still would get in and seep in between the plastic and wood You would have to take the plastic and go over the edges of the wood but I wonder if there’s another material you could use because plastic it’s not highly recommend it either if it’s a food garden.. The plastic will see into the soil and that’s not healthy- I wonder what someone could recommend to use instead of plastic maybe just another strip of wood all the way around and remove and replace it but that’s expensive

​@@joansmith6844it's copper, not poison. The formulation was changed in 2004 and it's completely benign now. Copper is an essential dietary mineral. I think a lot of people are confused because pre-2004 PT lumber formulations were definitely harmful, and some treated pallets are still harmful (methyl bromide). I don't use glyphosate or insecticides on my lawn but have no concerns about using PT lumber for my garden beds.

That plastic will degrade and be an absolute nightmare. Using plastic liner is just adding mircoplastics to the soil. Believe me, after you have to pick it all out a minute piece at a time, youd prefer to replace the wood. The plastic will not last. ​@richelleg225

Quack grass is rhizomatic right? Rototilling would only multiply the problem if so. (we don't have quack grass so I'm not super familiar but I recall Charles Dowding addressing quack grass).

Planter wall blocks. You can find them at Home Depot and Lowe's (and probably other home improvement stores)

나도 구입하고 싶네요

Not in the UK 😕

Honestly, I'm not 100% positive but I think I used 3/8" but you could use any size that fits inside the blocks.

I bought untreated wood and applied Cabbots Australian Timber Oil. Mahogany flame looks awesome and protects.

I would still avoid treated lumber. The plastic will only last a couple years and then the treated wood would be in contact with the soil.

Pressure treated has been fine for gardening since 2004, when the formulation changed. You will get some copper leeching into your food but copper is a necessary dietary mineral. Some people supplement copper for health, especially if they have a zinc deficiency.

Can also drive a stake in the ground and screw it to the downhill wall

This 67yo woman did this. Just have the Home Depot folks pull the blocks for you, cart them to checkout and load for you so you can save your energy for unloading and set-up at home. Take your time and you can do it 🙂. I'm adding another level to my 12-4'x6' beds right now and will have soil with worm castings delivered and dropped on a large tarp to move at my leisure. All with the help of Tylenol and Ibuprofen, of course 😂

I got news for ya, several beers in a frosted mug tops it off …😊

They are so easy, and the garden turned out great!

Where can I find those bricks at ? Thankyou

They are called "Planter Wall Blocks". You can find them at Home Depot and Lowe's (and probably other home improvement stores) Some stores don't stock them, but you can try special ordering them.

I used 8ft 2x6 lumber, with the short sides cut to 4ft. Watch the full step-by-step how-to guide: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hkur9krif90.html

Only to the extent of have each stable and the boards line up. I didn't level the entire garden.

The liner is just LDPE plastic sheeting which can be found at most home improvement stores.

My local Home Depot and Lowes carry them. If your local stores don't carry them, try asking if they can special order them for you.

It's just plastic sheeting from the home improvement store to help keep some moisture out of the wood

​@@InTheGarden won't moisture go in to the wood from other exposed sides? Just curious if the plastic is necessary

Yes, moisture will get into the wood regardless, but much more on the side that is in constant contact with the soil. The plastic helps to keep that moisture out of the wood, but it does deteriorate quickly, so it only lasts a season or two. You could definitely leave it out. I've just found for the small extra cost and a few minutes work, it's worth it to possibly extend the life of the wood by a couple years.

@@InTheGarden makes sense, thanks for the reply and video!

@@showstazwhat size boards are those?? I want to make one just like this

@@michaelwoody24 use 2x6 boards

I'll be trimming around mine this weekend... It does look like it will be a bit of work.

Just mow around like normal and use a string trimmer on the rest. Should take 20 seconds per bed to trim

We call that kind of plastic sheeting visqueen where I'm from... Do you put any drainage holes in the bottom? 👋👩🏼‍🦳 Edit... I just watched the long version and found out that you didn't cover the bottom, so question answered. But I do have another question, if you're making an organic bed, what type of wood should be used? Wouldn't pressure treated wood have chemicals that we wouldn't want in our food?

@@seamikki6510 you are correct, pressure treated wood would have chemicals. I just used 2x6 studs, non-treated. This means the wood will deteriorate more quickly, but no chemicals.

@@InTheGarden Love your style, I can't watch the YouTubie/over the top videos. I was looking for beginner drip&soak line info, so now I'm binging your channel, THX! 💌 Your new sub, 👩🏼‍🦳✌️

@@InTheGardeno u put it just on the sides right ?? sides of the inner wood walls

Haha, yeah, I have a tendency to try to plant too much. I really need another large bed so I can fit everything I want...

@@InTheGarden I do the same lolz

Raised beds are known to allow for closer plantings because you can closely follow the nutrient amendments.

We only put it on the sides, to keep some of the moisture from the soil from being in constant contact with the wood, not on the bottom. But you are right, it does break apart quickly anyways, so next time I would probably skip it. Thanks for watching 😊 🌱

@@InTheGarden heck yeah that's actually a good idea. That's how the no till pots are now. Fabric pots with a layer of plastic on the inside but not all the way down so there's drainage.

I thought they were plastic, no?

CDN $40 for a 12' p/t board, CDN $8 for a planter block, this simple looking garden bed project can cost upwards of CDN $300 easily. Inflationary times for a hobby, eh?

@@jagdeeprandhawa4361 very true, sir... nothing is being given away

You don't use Pressure treated boards in a raised garden bed.

It's 18in above ground level, filled to about 15in. The soil where I live is tough to grow in so this provides a good amount of good soil for my plants to grow 😊🌱

@@InTheGarden Ah, that makes sense.🙃

You don’t HAVE TO. Lol

This garden bed is about 100 sq ft and total cost including soil was about $600. You could probably build a 4x8ft bed using this method for around $200

I saw a video where someone built one that was down on the ground. It was 2x6 and cost $30.

I just built 3x6x1.5 garden beds for about $20/each. On a few I built bird/deer cages which added another $20. Built using PT fence pickets and PT 2x4s for structure, with stakes to prevent deformation on a hill.
