My raised beds are no where near this fancy, but it is quite functional. On a SS budget, I used what I could get mostly for free. I have used several large mineral tubs given to me by a local farmer, wood that I picked up from construction sites also given to me. As I get things done I paint the containers so it does look more consistent. I love it and it is such a functional space.☺

I really wanted to show that even those on a tight budget can still make an enjoyable and productive space. Feel free to message me if you want me to send you the pictures and some planning tips.

@LauraK @Beach Seeker I wish I could post photos. The method I used was closer to what Laura did on her video last week when she filled her cold frames next to the Hartley. In my 4’ x 8’ raised beds, I layered rotting wood, sticks, leaves, green material(weeds), hay, pretty much everything organic I could find on my property. I added soil, compost, and raised bed mix to the top 10”. My raised beds are 30” high. The soil dropped down over the season, but it is rich and loamy and beautiful. Starting my second season, and I love the results so far. The Hulgelkultur method can be modified in different ways. If you choose the original method, I would just research watering first. There’s so much info out there.

Enjoy your day all.

I love all the inspiration of this video! I have been wanting to design a raised garden spot in my yard and my husband is reluctant due to the fact he believes "a garden should be on the ground".(Even though he won't be the one to tend the garden😉) I plan to re-watch this video with him so he can understand why I want it up off the ground and also so he can see how beautiful it can be when done right. We have been looking on Market Place for taller dog kennel fencing to use around the garden space to keep deer at bay....recycle/reuse.

My motto is work with what you have until you can do better and there's always next year for more improvements.

Such beautiful raised beds. I think I’m going to have to start on some myself. I really like the galvanized roofing kind with gravel walkways.

I too am going with the galvanized roofing, but I am going to special order roofing that comes with a coloured finish on one side. The brand my Home Depot carries has more than three dozen colours to choose from. Will look great with black stained wood, and won't look quite so industrial. Though I still do like the natural colour. Instead of a factory-applied paint, I am tempted to use Cor-tens. Gotta love rust!

Laura the Blue-Gray house with the raised beds from Lisa, that you liked so much, is located in Massachusetts, not New Hampshire. I know this because she's my daughter.

The raised beds were GORGEOUS! I'm anewby gardener, two years in as a result of covid... I started with one elevated raised bed. My idea was "tabletop". I did NOT want to bend over to tend or harvest... I now have three pre-fab ERB's, one custom ERB that's 8x3, a custom built bed built especially for manpukuji carrots, a squash bed I built two weeks ago. They're all cedar, the squash bed is not an ERB. It's 6x3, 3 feet tall and I've used the HUGELKULTURE method to fill it! 😃 I got x.mas trees from local park after the holidays and filled the mank and squash beds. You mentioned the increased cost of lumber and filling beds so I thought I'd share that bit about the HUGELKULTURE method. I'm in zone 6 and can't wait till March to again spend my days and evenings on my floating deck surrounded by the ERBs. Glad I found your video! So inspiring... ❤️

If the ONLY thing I ever learned about from watching your videos was hoselink ... It was worth every second! Thank you! After 2/3 crappy house reels & lots of frustration I am thrilled with my hoselink! Of course that's just the BEGINNING of what I've learned & enjoyed. (And spent money on!)

I really enjoyed seeing other layout ideas for the raised beds and gardens. I have to create some protection for my beds because the deer, rabbits, and squirrels think I designed the area for them!

Very inspiring raised beds ideas. But I don't know if its me or my mind, always imagined rectangular wooden raised beds as coffins distributed within a grave yard.

These beds are so gorgeous and inspiring.thank you for the compilation.

I love all the different pictures of people raised beds. Each persons beds are just gorgeous

“Saskatchewan, Canada, zone 3b, oh that must be so cold.” Americans always assume it is really cold up here. But so is most of the north in the US. And our zone numbers are not the same as in the US. Well it is cold here, in the winter, so raised beds work great for extending the growing year. Living in Newfoundland, where I am, we also use raised beds, and I include details of how to use them in my garden book, Sun, Seed & Soil, just published by Boulder Books. Raised beds make your work easier, allow you to build rich, healthy soil, and can provide foundations for protective structures like cloches, row covers and mini-greenhouses, which your photos do not include. In colder places, these shelter structures are essential to provide protection from wind and cold to extend the growing season. Lovely to see so many gorgeous raised bed details. Thank you!

Such an enthusiastic, supportive and encouraging spirit. A breath of fresh air.

Laura, I just love how excuted you get for other people's gardens. One day I hope to feel like I can send you pictures of mine. ❤
