Shopped around till we settled on this raised bed and glad we settled on this one. It can be assembled in many different configurations and we chose the 8’ by 2’ one to fit our space precisely. We filled the bottom half with old oddly shaped logs that could not be easily split for the fireplace, and topped it off with topsoil and garden blend mix. Quick and easy assembling, I suggest a small power driver to speed the process. Planted on 7/4 and carrots, lettuce, onions and spinach all promptly sprouted. Excited to begin harvesting in a few weeks!!
