Galvanized Raised Garden Bed Assembly and Review - Episode 8

In Today's Suburban Homestead we'll be setting up some galvanized raised garden bed we bought from amazon.

First thing was to align the predrilled holes on the corner brackets with the edges.

During the first pass we just hand tightened all the nuts and bolts.

There are a lot of them so just keep at it and be patient.

Once the garden bed was assembled, we moved it to the spot it would sit.

Because there's so much Bermuda grass, I used an electric tiller to grind them to pulp.

I prepped the bottom layer with random compost that we've been collecting for a few months.

This compost will hopefully feed the bed with rich nutrients for at least one season.

We then threw some store-bought garden soil on top.

Then I spread it all out with a rake.

Have you ever done a ton of work just start all over again?

Well, that's what we did.

We moved everything over to the front yard.

Garlic is so fun to plant; you can harvest what you want and leave a few cloves for the next season.

An infinite supply

Garlic also has a ton of health benefits.

I made a video on them; you can check it out here.

These will definitely be one of our staple crops we grow every year.

Just stick one of the cloves into the soil and water them daily.

Make sure the soil you use has plenty of drainage though, they hate being waterlogged.

BTW, I've been using these beds for almost a year now, and I've got to say they still look great.

These were also half the price of Vegro bins.

I would recommend purchasing them on Amazon, but it appears they don't sell them at this size anymore.

But they do have the small beds available.

Just be aware that they're pretty tall so it takes a lot of soil to fill them up.

But overall, I would recommend buying these.

I actually loved them so much I got 4 more of them.

You can say I'm a little obsessed.
