As a lover of woodwork there is nothing more satisfying to me than seeing a close up of a screw being perfectly drilled into wood!😁😁😁

If you line it with cardboard you don’t need to remove the turf. Anything below the cardboard will eventually mulch down.

Thank you for this video. I am starting off growing my own vegetables and herbs, following this video just built my own raised bed. I didn't have to use any preservative on the pegs as the timber was pre-treated. It takes a tonne of compost, I had to use so many bags to nearly fill it.

Many thanks for the tips. Will try this. Hope this method of turf removing works on heavily compacted clay soil too.
