A great idea – thanks for including the pattern with measurements. I’ll have to try this!

ive been experimenting in my garden cause iam sick of tilling and bending over and picking weeds so ive been thinking of raised beds. i want my planters to last but 12″high 2 by cedar is to $$ , so i thought i could use the 3/4 cedar and stake every so often for support for bowing out just wondering if you tried it or if you think its workable because this is more my price range thanks

I used to make all my own pots and stuff out of old timber. I had my garden decked and used the leftover wood to create some excellent plant boxes :)

Fantastic! I’m currently limited to what can fit on my balcony, but I love to give these a try!

I have a very similar raised container garden in my backyard. It’s a fantastic way to keep my vegetables and herbs away from other plantings in the yard. I surrounded my garden with PVC pipe and draped that in netting to keep the birds and squirrels away from the veggies. It’s worked like a charm.
