Here’s a simple project to build a double-decker raised bed. You can make this project to fit your needs, but I made a small version to grow a few herbs and root vegetables. Matter of fact, I wanted to try beets, so for all you rappers out there… I call this my “beet box.”
2x3x2 double-decker box
Cut 1x 4 untreated lumber in these lengths:
8 boards 3’
8 boards 2’
Cut 1x1 untreated lumber 
4 sticks 4’ 
Screw rectangular boxes together using 2- 3’ boards and 2- 2’boards. Lay one of the rectangles on the ground, then attach the 1x1 sticks in the corners of one of the boxes. Then slide another rectangular box on top of it and screw into the 1x1. Turn the entire box and 1x1 sticks upside down. Use more 1x4 boards to create a “bottom” for your box by cutting them and screwing them into the ends of the rectangular box. 
Stack the last two rectangular boxes on top of each other and slide the long ends of the 1x1 sticks into the corners. It should still be “upside-down”. Screw the last two rectangular boxes to the 1x1 sticks in each corner. Use more 1x4 material to create another bottom for the top veggie box
Flip the entire container over. You should have two veggie beds. One on the bottom of the 1x1 sticks and the other one at the top. You can use scrap material to slide a divider down the middle of each veggie box if you want to separate your crops as I did. Now, fill it will clean potting soil and have fun growing more plants within your vegetable patch.
