Constructing a garden bed

​

There are many resources on the internet to assist in constructing  a raised garden bed for the novice gardener with very little knowledge about building. Your local lumber supplier can cut the wood to size for you, eliminating the need for a circular saw. With many of these plans you will only need a drill and some time.

Be careful to purchase untreated wood to avoid chemicals in your soil and produce. Another option (though

more expensive) is to build the raised garden with Cedar to naturally prevent rot.

There are toxin free waterproofing solutions available as well that can reapplied every year if you would like to prolong the life of the wood of your bed.
