70yrs old and been wanting to do raised beds but didn’t want the measuring, drilling and cutting. So I defaulted to container gardening. Next year if the Lord says the same I’m using your method along with a few ideas in the comments. HUGE thank you for sharing the knowledge.

I told a Lowe’s employee that I wanted to do a raised bed and she showed me these. She said a 2x4 will fit. They had a demo up with two 4x4s flush against each other to create sort of a ledge. They were nailed together. It would cost under $40 per bed depending on the length. They can also cut the wood for you.
Thanks for sharing. It’s nice to see someone putting it together.

I love these blocks. I've been using them for a couple of years now. My back yard looks just like the beginning of this video. I need to stop playing on this damn phone and get to planting. 😮

Thanks! It is easy to make this raised garden bed. I made one the day after I saw your video!

Great idea for expanding a raised bed. Love the corner blocks, SO EASY!
For mine, I made it taller. As an older person, I know I don't want to bend over into that garden. I also have dogs. I don't want them in the garden either. Another reason mine is 4 ft tall.

I saw your video from last year and did this for my mothers garden. got 4 4ft x 8f garden beds rn. Fertilizing them and getting them ready for plants in the spring.

This is such a great things for people getting into the garden space. So accessible!

One major improvement. Use cardboard instead of weed mat. That stuff is so annoying to get rid of, just use cardboard. 10-12 inches of compost/potting soil is plenty to prevent weeds from germinating from the original soil level. Plus cardboard is free and breaks down.

I love it! Allows you to make them what ever size you need! Thank you

We bought the same beds for my mum at Lowe’s for Mother’s Day. The store even will cut the wood for you ! We forgot to buy the rebar that goes in the holes of the bricks. I see you also didnt add them. Works well but eventually the weight does move / shift everything around without them. Great video ! Happy Gardening

This is AWESOME!!!! I can't kneel or squat, so I could drill holes in the center of the corner blocks, stack them, and anchor them with rebar - voila, high raised beds! I'm so glad you shared this, Kate!

[agentchaos]

Love it! I found out how I'm going to do my raised flower bed, thanks to you!!!

Nice job! I'm so inspired I can't wait for spring.

Lowes had a display of this, except they layered it. So it was 3 Tiers. The lowest level had tall flowers, the middle had regular veggies & the top layer had herbs.
Layers were staggered.

If you use 2x12x8 board, you don't need two pieces on the smaller side and it will be flusher against the brick.
Also use sticks and leaves in the bottom, you will save on soil.

[valchris]

Use cardboard it will suppress the weeds and breakdown later on to help improve your soil.

2x12x8 us the best size to fit between the blocks.

Use leaves and branches in the bottom of the bed . They will breakdown to also enrich your soil.

Watched the video today.. went and got all the stuff and put 2 of them up! What a genius idea thank you!

[agc]

Thank you so much. I'm so excited to get started!

[mrs.scales]

Thank you so much for sharing! My girls 4 and 9 are looking forward to starting our first garden together!!

We love these new blocks. I have done 6 so far 😂. I had Lowe’s cut my wood so that all I had to do was assemble. My husband complemented me on how well I did at getting them even 😂
