Simple box for a raised bed vegetable garden

A belated welcome to LumberJocks. A good project I built a few of these a couple of years ago as well, plan on adding a second board to a few few of them this year to help keep out a few of the critters, may think about adding the lip as well.

Hope your harvest is abundant.

Nice work, it looks good

Nice idea to add that lip. Functional, and it adds a nice additional visual element as well.

Very nice. I built 8 of them a few years ago…with our rocky soil (all rock) this is the best way to have a nice garden. Looks like you need to coat your logs to keep them from cracking more…unless that is fire wood.

Looks good…am considering something similar. One thing to watch for is termites. Untreated wood in contact with the ground spells LUNCH.

Looks very nice, I too like the lip on top. It i too late for me to make any for this spring, but that gives me lots of time to do something similar so i can get a jump on next spring.

Hi Chuck, good point about the termites. Larry, the logs are sweet gum for firewood, not sure if sweet gum would be very good for wood projects, but then again I haven’t tried to build anything with the stuff.

I wrote that because of I did the same thing with some Macadamia wood I got a year ago…it was very wet and sure enough it cracked out bad
