My husband & I have been living at our home for 30 years. Trial & Error on gardening beds. Now we're age 60 with aches & pains, and purchased 2 Keter raised beds (on legs), but I still wanted a home-made ground raised bed for growing squash. After seeing this video, I finally got hubby to go to Home Depot today to "get the goods"! So this is how we'll be happily spending our 31st wedding anniversary today! (Great "quarantined" project!).

Just a heads up if you are planning on constructing this with the ledge -- he mentions at the 5:00 mark that it requires an EXTRA 2x4 in order to construct the support pieces. This is not included in the earlier list he mentions at the 1:56 mark, citing (3) 2x4s and (3) 2x10s. Just trying to save you an extra trip to the lumberyard like I had to do!

My husband just built this, it's awesome and feels super sturdy. Thanks again for the video and instructions, it turned out great!
In case anyone needs it here's a list of materials:
3pcs 2x10, 8’ *
4pcs 2x4, 8’ *
64 Deck screws 3”
* For the wood: Douglas Fir, not pressure treated

I’ve never seen someone so enthusiastic about garden beds😂😂 thanks for the tips

James, I appreciate your attitude, energy and the fact that you get down "into the weeds" use terms we can relate to and use your hands. Also - Tuck is cool. The Garden State rules.

I just used this tutorial to make a raised bed and it turned out so great. Your channel has really helped me through this quarantine with positive distractions.

"the 2x4 is just over $2" - cries in 2021, paying $10.

Thank you for this! I know how to do this theoretically but having the visual where someone explains what and why they're doing what they're doing is so helpful for a beginner with wood. Hope to see more now that I've found you :)

Dude, you're awesome and you inspired me to finally build some beds! Completed four big mamas in just a few hours with your simple directions and advice. Thanks for sharing and spreading the knowledge!

[mindydyer]

Thank you so much for making this video! I made two of these in three hours and they look amazing. I’m 56 years old and I’m so proud of myself that I can make something that looks that good!! Thank you again

I just love Tuck❣❣❣❤❤❤❤ He is the cutest ever❣ Would love to see more of him in the videos. Thank you James for all to great gardening tips and treats. I love watching your channel. Keep up the wonderful job!

I built my first garden bed 3 years ago due to this video. I’m now in the process of building my 3rd (1/year till I run out of space).
I just want to say thank you. Your food forest inspired me to start gardening and it’s been incredibly fulfilling and empowering.

[gregspindler]

I followed your video verbatim and built two raised beds, and still have all my fingers and toes (thanks to your suggestion of having the big box store cut the wood for me). It was incredibly easy following your step-by-step instructions. Thank you so much for the video!

Thanks for explaining the measurements, drilling and screws. It's all the small stuff that makes it easier to figure out the big stuff.

[dustinn]

I don’t know who would give this a thumbs down. I just finished mine and it looks great. It’s easy to make, cheap, and looks great. Thank you author for posting this!

[sspeare]

I just wanted to say thank you so much for making this such an attainable and well explained tutorial! I’m feeling very proud of myself at the moment as today I started and completed making this garden bed on my own and she looks fabulous! I have named her Eddie 😊 thank you!

I'm so glad this video popped up, I just watched it with hubby twice, we are up to making raised beds for our new garden, we both love this idea & will be making the same, love that little xtra timber to sit & reach. We have just recently lost our fur best buddy of 14yrs, he too enjoyed gardening with us. I love watching Tuck enjoying his food forrest environment, supervising his buddy & just for being so adorable. Thank you both for so much valuable info & sharing your paradise with us :)

Hey! Thanks so much for your speedy dude and I've just been to our local Builders Provider this morning and now have my Veggie Bed cut and assembled. My son Zach had a super time assisting me, as he has woodwork lessons in High School. The experience he gained can't be measured with money. Not to mention the bonding session it created for us both. Again, many, many thanks! Kind regards, Murphy
