Building a Raised Garden
Using my scrap lumber I created a raised garden bed. You can use tools and lumber on hand or use pallet lumber which you can get from newspapers offices or engine shops.
Going Thru My Scrap Leftover Lumber
I used four 4 x 4’s then framed it with my used deck boards, made the bottom,and sides .in the bottom of my bed I used the nail holes as a guide and drill my drain holes.
Prepping the Raised Bed
I first lined the bottom with “pea” gravel them filled the box with miracle grow
Adding Plant and Making Water Funnels
I added wheels to the bed because if I decided to move it after the summer it would be easier. I cut plastic jugs to be able to get the water to the roots without burning the leaves.
Supporting the Plants
As the vegetables plants started producing I need to support them I used lattice and wood stake. A little water and occasional fertilizer I ended up with a nice harvest.
