1. Gather Your Tools

You can choose from a wide variety of material to build your raised beds. My favorite materials are resourced ones–my family purchased composite decking that was salvaged from a home deck remodel. Wood, stone or brick are all good options, too. You’ll also need some hand tools to construct your raised garden beds including a saw, level, tape measure, pencil and screws.

    Thanks for sharing the article blogs..I fine that very useful.
    I would say it’s important to get the children learning & watching how to do gardening work when they’re still young. The least parents can educate the green concept to children:)

    We did square foot gardening last year but it did not work out very well…not enough soil This year we did container gardening and it worked VERY well! We didn’t do a raised bed but just planted veggies/fruit in our flower pots instead of annuals. BUMPER crops of tomatoes and cucumbers and tons of lettuce and herbs too!
