Thank you for the video! This is simple enough for a beginner who literally has no experience building ANYTHING. Thank you again!!!

This is so perfect for me! When we bought our homestead, there were about 6 planter boxes on the ground made with 1X boards. They were mostly rotten, BUT I live near a trailer dealer, so I get all his 2X6s and 2X8's, and replaced the 1X material with these. Then my wife asked me to make two "from scratch." Happy wife, happy life. We now have (at last count) a total of 45 planter boxes of various sizes, and she keeps asking for more. I was so happy to see someone else using old 2X material!!! All the other sites are making fancy stuff. I put my legs on the inside, but that's because the wife likes them that way. I was REALLY appreciative of how you add that support for the legs! So simple and so strong! I suggest making a foot for each leg to prevent moisture absorption through the end grain. Also, I made the mistake of letting my wife watch "The Gardening Channel With James Prigioni" and she saw him put rails on the tops, so now I have to do that too. More protection though, especially for the tops of the legs. I tried using shellac, but that has a life of about 3 months here in Tennessee. Too much rain.
I was a little concerned about the 2X4 supports for the bottoms, but you said that they do the trick, so I will give it a shot.

Thanks again for giving us users of recycled construction lumber a great incentive!!

Love the detail you conveyed about this build. SUGGESTION: On the bottom of long side of the tray, where the two tray support 2x4's don't quite meet, adding a 4x4 post (leg) would definitely make the raised bed more stable. 💜😊💜

This is so the route I’m going I’ve been stressing out on spending $ on lumber when this whole time I’ve had access to free pallets.
Thank you for sharing this great garden idea!!

Thanks man, I was about to go out and spend cash on cedar; I'm going to go ahead and use the pallet wood I've got now .. and just give it some linseed oil to protect it a little cheers

Wow u explained how to build this so simply!! I’m a beginner at ‘wood working’ and don’t have very many tools. I love that this video didn’t need too many tools. I’m excited to make these tomorrow

Thanks for showing how to make the garden! 😊

Yes, reusing what you have or getting scrap wood is the way to go. You do not need to buy new cedar or even more expensive wood for a custom built bed for just under 1k.
Cardboard, leaves small twigs and compost will also save on filling the bed with soil.
Growing your own food does not need to be suburban costly.

These are exactly what I’ve been wanting. Now my guy can help me out getting several of these knocked out I’m still learning but I love to build
