How to easily build a raised garden bed out of wooden pallets for free! …Well almost free. Building a raised vegetable garden with pallets or reclaimed wood is a really rewarding experience. The garden bed idea out of pallets came about from the fact that l wanted to build a rustic looking raised garden bed. A vegetable garden bed that not only provides delicious food, but looks good at the same time. The recycled wood has come from hardwood timber pallets that have been sourced totally FREE of charge!
I’ve always wanted to build a raised vegetable garden bed so stay tuned to this video.
The garden beds will be approx. 2.4 metres (8 foot) long x 1.2metres (4 foot) wide.

This was a very informative well put together video thanks!
Loved this video! Entertaining and very informative! Thank you!!! Going to make one of these for my mum 🙂 Keep up the great work buddy
Liked the pillows and blankets funny funny!!!
Thanks for sharing your love for gardening and wood working.
Love it.Happy Days
Beautifuly designed! I love the hoop addition it could also work for people in colder climate to throw over a clear plastic tarp. Oh and if you want to keep it really natural you can protect the wood with coconut oil.
why the hell do you not have a tv show already. your videos are good and informative.
I'm going to combine your "building a work bench" base, and add the planter bed on top, so I have an elevated bed, since I want to be standing to garden. Using re-cycled wood for each portions that way they look like they're meant to be together. I don't have an electric planer, but, I like the old wood look anyway. Thanks for your great ideas and easy to follow instructions.
Brilliant thanks..
