How to build a Raised Garden Bed

[@douggoodrich7296]

Awesome! I tried watching about 5 videos before this but I stopped on all of those. You do a great job explaining!

[@GardenObsessions]

Thank you very much for your kind comments. Glad you found it useful.

[@TomHutchinson5]

Thank you! This video was really helpful

I have been scavenging thought the internet to find a way to make a simple raised herb garden and I found that your raised garden bed has the simplest design, needs the least number of power tools , least expensive to make, and your explanation is simple and straight to the point. After watching it from start to finish, I feel like i can make it at home. Thank you for posting the video. You have one more subscriber to your channel.

HI! I wanted to let you know that I followed your video step by step and made myself a planter. Since my husband left I've had the opportunity to flex my creative muscles and practice my independence. Thank you for this. I'm so glad I found your video, your instructions are really easy to follow and you don't over complicate the process. Thank you.

[@GardenObsessions]

I’m glad you were able to use this to build it so easily. It’s not perfect but it works. In the future their will be sturdier, and much better builds.

That looks awesome Ambrose 👍🏼 can’t wait to see it all planted up. 🌿

[@shamong9]

You did a great job both in the build and camera work. thanks.

Great job! Thank you so much for sharing the deminsions upfront nstead of having us go to another site. Excellent!

We dump our container(s) every year into the compost pile and use the compost next season. So with the kitchen scraps, grass clippings, eggshells, coffee grounds, etc., the regenerated/new soil works great. If you use pressure treated and worry about possible contamination simply spread it out on the lawn (topdressing).

You said you used 1"x3"x 8' but it was written 2"x3"x 8'. Which one did you use in the video?

[@craiginbatonrouge8161]

What do you think about spraying the prefabricated cedar raised bed boards with open bottom, from Amazon, with Thompson’s Water Seal? Lining the sides with plastic can be done if needed… signed, patiently waiting…

[@doreenaschiavi9490]

Thank you for this video! I followed your plan. It was such a quick and easy build! My raised planter came out perfect!

[@fred4547]

Excellent video, thank you.

[@Silverbackra]

You instructions was very easy to follow. Really good for a beginner like me. I would like to send you a photo

[@khaledelmsayip8575]

Great work ..Thanks 👍👨‍🌾

[@HelenMcCutchen2]

I can't wait to see it planted up !!

Nice intro & great information for a productive garden on a budget. I'm with you guys on the treated wood - Urban Alberta Gardener is a lab tech & conducted his own study about 3 years ago. He found no evidence of harmful chemicals migrating into either the soil or the plants. Tons of recent research on this as you mentioned. Thanks for making this project so straightforward too (we often forget about the kerf!).

[@billedmonds1381]

Would be a good application for pocket screws

[@PrairiePlantgirl]

Great tips. I agree with you about pressure treated wood. Just a note: pressure treated wood and regular deck screws have a chemical reaction and the screws can fail. There are special coated (green or brown) screws for use with pressure treated wood. It looks like you used the coated screws but I missed you mentioning it if you did.

[@NICHOLSRETIREMENTEMPIRE]

Very nicely done!

[@mingrwc]

Beautiful and detailed. Thank you!

[@marthafigueroa4686]

Looks great thanks for posting.

[@tombeckett4340]

Thanks great job. 👍🇨🇦

[@kirtishah9230]

Awesome video to build raised bed.

[@francisleesc]

Thank you for sharing tips...👍👍👍

[@lambylambcurly]

Awesome!

[@jenniferbarlow12]

This raised bed looks great, thanks for the video! I’ll be building something similar for my deck garden.

[@chrispurse3931]

Thanks for this video. That's all I'm looking for is just a plain elevated bed for my tomatoes. Tired of buying the prefuab one's. They're ridiculously expensive. BTW, nice shirt.

[@GardenObsessions]

Thanks for the shirt comment. I’m glad the video helps.

[@connielowe7944]

Great info!

[@sjandrestrydom1104]

If I treat common pine with a UV water repellent specific for wood will it last long? I build a dog kennel out of old pallet crate wood and treated it with colort tone exterior solvent based UV wood sealant which has a nice Matt teak finish and it’s out in the harsh Cape Town Sun everyday and it’s holding up great. But my question is would I survive by using it on a raised planter box or garden bed?

[@GardenObsessions]

It should be fine and last longer thank normally. Although if you stand to make it permanent redwood or cedar will last forever in terms of gardening. But what you propose should be great for a longer life than regular wood.

[@tonymodesto1691]

Parte list? Great job. I am gonna Bild this.

[@aaronJ836]

Did you use 2 inch screws? Thank you I enjoyed the video

[@GardenObsessions]

Yes

[@jeane561]

You did a great job. 😊

[@DizzyWireDesigns]

Was wondering where you found the plastic mesh on the bottom of this bed. Thx

[@GardenObsessions]

This is actually hardware cloth bought at Lowe’s.

[@majaber1]

Great video...you could lose the irritating background music though, thanks for posting.

[@vghd7420]

Idk... seemed appropriate music for a video about screwing and wood...
