A raised garden bed is a great way to grow your own veggies! It’s also a great way to improve the drainage and fertility of your soil. And with this method, it’s super easy to build.

I’ve got 6 raised beds in my garden, and 4 of them use this exact method. It works! And it’s easy and cheap.

Materials Needed:

Three pine boards laying on the ground.
Regular, kiln-dried boards are great for building raised beds. Even old boards like the one in the photo.
