I read Mel Bartholomew’s book “All New Square Foot Gardening” So I built this raised bed out of recycled lumber. If you were to build this your self It can be done for fifty dollars give or take. I prefer using reclaimed lumber when ever possible. This project can be done on a weekend or in 8 hours worth of time if you have all the materials when you begin. It took me a few days working on it a little at a time. My future plans are to add one more raised bed besides the current new bed and grow, grow, grow……..This season I plan on doing a few rows in the dirt next to the new bed and try growing a bunch of corn for my birds. They love corn on the cob……. Your soil will cost more then the estimated $50 budget. That can be another $50 bucks depending what you want to do. Read Mel’s book…….
