This is the perfect raised garden bed for my back yard! It is waste high so no bending over. I chose to build the 9.5 x 2.5 and will be able to get to all my veggies from one side which I absolutely love! We live in a very windy area so I am going to use the taller beds as an outer border to my garden to shield the lower gardens from the wind. I can’t wait to get theses layered with hay, logs, leaves and compost this winter so I can plant first thing Spring 2022!!!
