Great job – this is just what my wife and I need for a few tomatoes, peppers, etc. What did you use for wood?

Since treated wood is not recommended for gardens, I used Cedar for it’s ability to resist rot. I cut a 4×4 for the corners and used 2×6’s for the sides. Once I had the box together I added 1/2” chicken wire to the bottom to deter any burrowing animals from come up and eating any of the roots of my plants. I also added 1” PVC pipe on the inside of the box. I equally spaced it along both long sides. These pieces of pipe used in conjuction with 1/2” pipe, and some plastic sheeting allows me to cover the box if a want to start the garden early in the year.
I have posted a second picture showing the PVC in place.

Nice project. I suppose that since you are so far north you have to give yourself the ability to start early. Here in Oklahoma, as long as we get our tomatoes planted by 4/15 we are harvesting by July 1.

A very nice garden bed with PVC pipe in place. The corner joints are very well done. What will be the weight of the empty bed (approx)?
