This is the first wooden raised bed that I have ever built since I use steel raised beds in my garden. To make things easier, I followed a design that @Jamesprigioni uses in his garden. His food forest has definitely inspired me with my garden!

The next video that I’m going to post is building a steel raised bed for my mother-in-law’s garden! In the next couple weeks I’m also going to build her a homemade tomato trellis that I will directly attach to the wooden raised bed. I’m excited to learn the best ways to keep deer out of the garden!

  1. Try to find raw linseed oil. Also I just switched to 8×4 but I don't have a seat railing and that might make a difference. Where I was was a smaller yard and I did 5 by 3's which still used an 8-ft well. So much easier for a woman to reach across to the middle

  2. Boiled linseed oil isn't actually just "boiled." It has lead in it. Lead is a neurotoxin. You wanna use regular old plain Jane linseed oil
