It's nothing fancy, but it does the trick! I had the guy at the hardware store cut it to size for me and then I just nailed it all together! The seedlings were just getting too big to continue growing in their current plastic pots.
Specs:
69 inches long X 13.5 inches wide X 9 inches high
Materials:
Untreated wood (treated has chemicals- not good for growing veggies!), lots of nails, hammer
First, I layered newspaper down on the area (about 6-10 pages thick). This is to kill the grass and prevent any weeds from sneaking in. It also helps retain water!
After that, I set my garden bed on top and watered down the newspaper.
Next I added some chunky organic material. Luckily, I had a bag full of old bamboo leaves from cleaning up the other week. I spread them out and watered them down as well.
Then I added some chunky soil that had lots of big pieces of bark, and watered.
I topped it all off with garden soil and the plants! (And watered of course!)
