When the sun is shining and the weekend is upon us, there is one thing to do. Garden!
Full raised bed tutorial after a tour of the fun stuff! The greens inside the bed!
Some serious mixed lettuce
Spinach! To be paired with the strawberries for salads all summer long!
With a trip to Home Depot and the purchase of:
- Two 12' x18"x2" boards
- 12 Bolts
- Three 12'x1" PVC pipes
- Three 2'x1.5" PVC pipes
- 6 U fittings
Plus the use of One 8'x4"x4" Board that we had on hand
Not having kids (yet), we removed the kiddo play kingdom from the backyard, leaving enough wood for raised beds, our compost area and we are hoping to create shelving within our shed!
Up-cycling at its finest!
We were able to make the bed for around $36.
We cut the boards to create 8'x4' beds and made sure to leave enough room for a stool, bucket or even better, a wheelbarrow between beds (and fences)!
Each hoop is 12', to anchor the hoop, cut the large diameter 2' pipe in half and attach with the U fitting.
It was a little bit of work but seeing these greens thrive is pretty awesome! And I must give thanks to my hubby for manning the saw and drill!
