Tiered Garden Bed from Reclaimed Materials

Do you want to grow your own vegetables, but you don’t have a place for a garden?  This tiered garden bed is for you!  You can build it in a weekend and be on your way to growing your own vegetables with the plans and video tutorial.

Researching Before I started this project, I really didn’t know a lot about gardening or raised garden beds. I did what I always do before I start building something, explore, ask questions, and get inspired.

I found a great iron headboard to use as a trellis on the back of the tiered garden bed..

I wanted to use lumber that didn’t have a lot of chemicals in it and after hearing about old-growth lumber, I knew that was exactly what I wanted to use!

Let's Get Dirty! 1. Make the cuts Make the cuts according to the plans.

2. Pre-drill all the holes I pre-drilled the holes because I was dealing with really old lumber and it is really hard and dry. Pre-drilling reduces the risk of having the wood split.

3. Assemble your tiered garden bed!  

4. Add the trellis and finally it's time for planting!  

Looking good!
