DIY Raised Garden Bed for Beginners Using Planter Blocks (No Nails)

This is how I built my c-shaped raised vegetable garden bed using untreated cedar wood planks and planter bricks that I got from Home Depot. I wanted my garden bed to be c-shaped just because I think it's cuter than a rectangular bed and there's a small area for me to walk into and sit down. It has 2 layers so plants have at most 12" of soil to grow in and holds approximately 45 cubic feet of soil.

DIY 3-Layer Planter Block Raised Garden Bed UPDATE:

Supplies I used to build the frame (Canadian):
Untreated Cedar Plank Dimensions:
Two 2"x6"x12'
Eight 2"x6"x3' (two 2"x6"x12' planks that were each cut into four pieces)
Six 2"x6"x5' (three 2"x6"x10' planks that were each cut in half)
A worker at Home Depot can help cut the planks to the exact measurements you need, I just asked someone by the lumber section and was very thankful since there would've been no other way for me to cut them :D

Remember since you have weed cover at the bottom, don't over water, it may be dried out on the top and still wet at the bottom, stick a dry stick down to see were the water level is peace 😊

I have seen some people fill raised beds with old mulch (or stick/wood), leaves, and grass to fill most of the space to save money, seems like a cost effective solution. Thanks for the amazing video!

Such a cute garden! I can wait to see your updates.

Lovely!! I can't wait to have a garden so I can make something like this. I like how it can be disassembled and reused if you ever want to change the shape.

Oooh your doing garden videos now great, I love growing, raised beds and pots are great as they are so much easier to maintain. Yours looks great, those bricks that you just slot the wood into are a great idea. You should definitely do more videos with your plants, I’d love to see updates on your growing. I have grown a few edible things in the past, mainly tomatoes and bell peppers, I plan to grow more veg next year. I currently have other various plants in pots, you could also get some pots and grow plants that will flower to brighten up your garden 🪴🌻🌸😊
