  • you must be from the city...

  • U made it too complicated all u need us 4 pieces of the same size wood some screws and a screw driver or drill

  • Thanks for the great tips!

  • You didn't predrill the holes just because you didn't want the wood split, you had to predrill them, because you had to screw them in with that crappy screwgun.

  • @tastycajun0381 yes DFW

  • nicely explained, perfect for beginners! Thank-you, I enjoyed this very much:)

  • Excellent tutorial. Well filmed and explained. Thank you!

  • hello! was wondering if i could just lay some tarp down and start with the soil on top (as the bed will be on gravel) or if i have to dig through the gravel til i hit the soil and start there?

  • I use tapping screws and you do not have to pre drill, nice job on these thanks for the video

  • Whew. I built my raised beds last year and it was ALOT of work! Clay soil and Bermuda grass..and my property slopes. lol

    BUT...It was worth it. This spring it was so enjoyable to just get out there and start planting without all that work!

    :-)

  • Some people... They must be living in the middle of nowhere.. No neighbours, family or friends - people you can ask if you can borrow a drill or something.. Why buy wood.. you can maybe even get it for free from someone who is taking down his shed or whatever..

    Sorry for being a little sarcastic, but I can't understand why people are so stupid these days that they can't even think of a simple solution.. BTW what is shown here is just an example..

  • It seems like the best raised bed gardens would come pre-fabricated. This way of building pretty much means you have to buy a bunch of tools.

  • Wow you did all this in nearly 4 min. your pretty slow

  • great video!!!

  • @eatvids That's what I thought as well :-)

  • Even easier have your cedar planks cut at Home depot just drill holes adn screw them in and your done!
