BRACKETS! OMG, ok I am not a builder/carpenter/know a darn thing about carpentry, I built the corners of my raised bed gardens with 2×4′ beams cut into about 2 ft pieces. I wanted 4×4’s but the hardware store cant cut them. So, I have 4 staircased 4×4 raised beds connected with the beams
My next raised beds will be much better made with brackets. My first ones are still awesome though,. Thanks for the vid.

Look into TimberSIL Glass Wood:
It’s a non-toxic, non-leach preserved wood product.

Very helpful, and comical. I was actually laughing audibly during parts of this, odd considering it was a gardening video. Also, I thought the camerawoman’s questions answered some questions that others would have been too embarrassed to ask.

Ha, love it, a hand model that makes garden beds while entertaining the dog at the same time! Truly amazing!

Your video was one of the first I saw when I was looking for tips on how to build a raised bed. Thanks!
I had to sink mine a little bit in the ground because I have that evil Bermuda grass!
Plus my property slopes a little.
Best of luck with this year’s garden!! 🙂 I love my raised beds!

DON’T use drywall screws. They are not rated for weather and will rust, break and your bed will fall apart. Use DECKING screws. They are rated for outdoor use.

@switch55 you water mature tomato plants when the top inch of soil is dry. over-watering is one of the biggest problems in the garden.

@erochow Thanks for replying eric. Being I’m still a rookie at this, how often do you water your tomatoes?

@switch55 i used 2×12 boards and the tomatoes are just fine, eric.

Hardware cloth is a good idea. Weed barrier cloth will prevent the grass from growing up through the bottom; if you don’t have that, then line the bottom of the boxes with cardboard before you add planting mix… the cardboard will eventually gracefully degrade, but by then the grass underneath should be completely dead.
