New Raised Bed




I have been using an 8x4ft raised bed made out of treated wood for the last couple of years. Finally, I replaced it with a new untreated cedar bed from Natural Yards. I had good luck with these before (my smaller raised beds).

I really like the way I don't have to use any tools to put them together. They fit together like a jigsaw puzzle and you just put a pin into the pre-drilled holes to hold them together.

I was careful to put new black tarp under the rocks around the perimeter, and also leveled them out with some sand. This wasn't really necessary, but I really enjoy not having weeds growing around the raised beds.

Now all I need is dirt!
