DIY Garden Bed Edging anybody can do

Let's build a simple garden edging! Something that anybody can do and have great results, and at the same time time is different and unique from all the stone bed borders. Nothing more than some construction adhesive, a couple 2x4's, different length 4x4's, and some 5/4 deck boards for the top.

I was searching all over YouTube for Garden Bed, this one is by far the best one. I will recommend this video to any of my friends and family.

nice job...and how refreshing NO annoying music in the background, just the real noise of tools working and u doing the magic work....ahhhh...so freaking refreshing.

I would put those 2x4s on the inside, not the outside, so that it is easier to mow next to the bed...and use a weed whacker.

to anchor the lower 4x4 drill 1/2" holes through them and drive 1/2" rebar 12-16" long through and into the ground, I have used this method on railroad ties for raised beds and they have never moved, good vid THANX

You are absolutely a blessing when you're starting out in DIY Garden Bed Edging you need an expert who provides detailed instructions like yourself... for which I am so grateful I am going to try this also.

LOVE THE LOOK! MY HUSBAND WILL NOT BE HAPPY AS I NOW HAVE ANOTHER PROJECT IN MIND! I KNOW HE WILL D0 A REALLY GOOD JOB AFTER HE WATCHES YOUR GREAT VIDEO! THANK YOU!

[fatimapc]

I just wanted to tell you that I loved your video and I decided that I was going to do it. I am a 62 year old, 230 pound female and I did all of it myself. I took my pickup truck and bought all the wood by myself and hauled it home and picked up all the screws like you said and the glue! I used my husband's saw and cut all my own pieces. It took me a few weeks to do it because it was a bit exhausting because the area I did was 45 feet long by 2 feet wide. I wish I could post photos for you to see my finished project. I even went back and 'stained' all the wood after it was built (I wasn't too sure if I should do it before I started to saw etc...) but oh well. It is by NO MEANS as perfect as yours but I am pretty proud of it and it looks AMAZING!! Thank you for showing me how to do it step by step and for having such great ideas!

I love watching video's that show me stuff that I can actually make, thankyou

[schlachthaus]

Now that’s my kind of DIY project! Uncomplicated - few tools, fewer materials, and not a lot of time. Looks good, too! BTW, nice voice, good video pace, excellent editing, and no annoying background music. Thank you!

really great solution for a non-retaining wall bed. looks great and is very simple. should last a long time with some stain. Well done.

Love the fact that this video is over a year old and your still liking comments. Love the video 😊😊

Just a tip...you should always make garden beds away from the walls of the home. Leave a foot or two.
Dirt against the wall above grade can cause structural problems due to moisture being held against the wall. Soil can also provide a super highway for insect infestations. The plants themselves become a transport system for insects as well as rodents, acting like a ladder to places they would have struggled to get to without the plant. Plant roots can disrupt foundation and actually break the structure, or the cladding. Mulch on the bed can exasperate moisture and insect problems. Finally, it makes it much easier to maintain both the home and the garden bed if the plants are not right against the home. Leave yourself room to access the house without having to tear your garden out or lop off branches that leave the plants looking mutilated.

Hi there, we made this (almost) exact garden bed edging over the weekend. Had to replace the 2-4X4s stacked over each other with a 1-2X6 pine sleeper as the 4X4s that we get in Australia cost over $54. All in all, it looks great in the garden. Wish YouTube allowed posting pictures in comments, would have loved to show it to you. Will make another of this one this week. Thanks again.

Everything looks great . I only have one suggestion. When you stack the (2) 4x4's drill through them with a 3/8" drill bit, put about (3) holes in each 8' section. Buy a 10' (or a couple) length of 3/8" rebar and cut it into 24" sections. Use a small mini sledge hammer and drive the 24" spike through both 4x4's into the ground. Now you will have a solid wall that won't move over time and you can finish with your top cap and not see the tops of the spike or the holes.

Finally some edging construction technique without use of concrete… thank you

My wife has been begging me to give her a flower bed this year. I love this concept and I have the upmost confidence to do it. Definitely subscribing to your page mate!

[scaletownmodels]

That looks really nice. Attractive wood finish with the vertical blocks really does add character to it.

[darrenpoesel]

I used your formula and built four flower and veggie gardens. Added some drip irrigation and the project(s) turned out amazing. Thanks for the video and inspiration.

[joonyaboy]

Did this today. Took me about 8 hours. Thanks for the video. Huge help. One reminder for folks, cut everything for fitment before you glue anything together. Also make sure your corners are 90 degrees perfect. I forgot about that and made my top piece 45 degree ends hard to mate up.
