Re: Raised garden bed

This looks awesome. I am looking at buying a raised garden bed and wondered how much soil I need to buy for one about 100cm x 100cm x 30cm. Also, I am not a gardener so what soil do I buy, topsoil, compost, etc or a mixture and if a mixture what do I put in first and what on top, etc

Re: Raised Garden Bed

Hello @james68 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about building a raised garden bed.

 

Let me tag @moshiach77 to make them aware of your question. It is difficult to tell how big the actual raised garden bed is, but looking at its construction, it appears that they used 100x100 fencing post for the corners and 200x50 sleepers for the top section. They then used timber strips to act as an anchoring point for the corrugated sheets. However, I can only guess how they built the bottom of the garden bed, it will be something that moshiac77 will need to elaborate on.

 

Here is a link to ideas and inspiration: Top 10 most popular raised garden beds.

 

Here is a handy step-by-step guide for an alternative raised garden bed: How to build a raised garden bed by @Adam_W 

     

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Re: Raised Garden Bed

Hi @james68,

 

Let me also extend a very warm welcome to the community. I've moved your post to @moshiach77's original discussion for the benefit of the rest of the community to understand the context. 

 

I thought I'd also add to Eric's reply that we have step-by-steo guides for a number of other raised garden beds and would be happy to assist you in altering the plans to build something unique for your garden. Please also check out:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope that helps.
