How To Build A Raised Garden Bed - Cheap

Today’s feature tip is from Green Options with instructions on how to build a raised garden bed using old doors! Weekly DIY: Planter Box

You can easily build a low-tech box like this for your garden for very little money and with very little construction experience. These raised planter boxes can be as large or as small as you can find doors for. It keeps our dog out and I don’t have to kneel to tend to the plants in the box, plus we kept the doors out of the landfill. You could also use this for a compost bin, although you would have to use doors with vented slats, like our long doors, to maintain air flow.

Raised beds are a perfect solution for those with small yards & pets or physical ailments that make gardening difficult. I love the idea of using no longer needed household items to build this, very frugal and earth friendly at the same time :)!
