Quite proud of the raised bucket garden bed I made

Never made something this large before so there's a lot of mistakes throughout that I worked around, so it should be fine… probably. It holds 10 buckets for us to finally start a real outdoor garden! We've only ever had a small indoor garden that we grew maybe 2-3 plants, but with this we'll be able to grow larger things.

I had a lot of fun putting this together and it wasn't nearly as expensive as I thought it would be. It was only like $150 for all the wood and screws total. I was worried it would've been like $400+ or something. Guess it's better to over save than under lol

Since springtime is coming around, I'm not looking into it yet, but as the weather cools down later in the year I'm considering building a greenhouse covering for it. Before that, my next project is a hydroponic tower for our leafy greens and possibly a regular raised bed.

We're currently renting the house we live in so we can't do anything permanent, but once we own, the plan is to look into livestock hopefully. Wife will not stop sending me videos of people with meat rabbits and chicken coops. Gonna have to start researching how to build those too.

Well anyway, again this is the first large thing I've ever built and I'm super happy with how it turned out. It's way more stable than I expected and I'm hoping it lasts a long time! It was so much fun building it and I can't wait to make more stuff for our growing homestead in the future!
