How to Build a Raised Square Foot Garden

May 6, 2013 By Jon 8 Comments

A few months ago, I helped my dad build a raised square foot garden. This project took a half day and the total cost of supplies was around $200. This is definitely an intermediate wood working project. It requires quite a few tools and knowledge on how to build. A raised square foot garden bed is ideal to keep animals out and it makes gardening easy on the back. We were inspired by these plans. Please know, that you do not need to use the wood we listed. If you don't prefer pressure treated … [Read more...]

{Revamped} Wire Basket Plant Stands

It was a small narrow patio and with all the pots on the patio it gave us very little room to walk around. At the … [Read more...]

{Part 1} How To Build A Raised Garden Bed

March 27, 2012 By Katie 2 Comments

Ever since we got our fence for Christmas I've been wanting to build raised garden beds for gardening. Ever since we moved in together we've maintained a container garden that consisted of fresh herbs, tomatoes, bell peppers, and jalapenos. We've done remarkably well with maintaining those, and with that being said I felt it was time we graduate to a true garden with a wide variety of plants. I started brainstorm with Mr. Woodsy (and bugging him day after day) until he finally cracked and … [Read more...]
