In this video, I explain and demonstrate how an “easy to assemble” raised garden bed might not be the best option.

Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane – the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let’s get into it! Cheers, Mark 🙂
Really heavy I mean heavy ass
How about a ratchet strap around the bed to hold it together short term
A zip tie should have worked in place of the fencing wire.
Love you mark…your videos are so good…wish to meet you someday
Bodgy McDodgy has now entered my lexicon of gardening terms here in frozen Canada. Thanks Mate.
PS You are right about those star pickets. Lent over into the top of one of the taller ones. Buggered my eye lid and injured my eye. Hurt like hell. Could have been really nasty. I always cover them and thin bamboo cane stakes too.
Wow those birds . How wonderful
your thoughts on making Lightweight Concrete Garden Boxes PART 3 – Aircrete Vermiculite Lava Rock…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddedMmuj7xY&t=55s...
Perth Mint Silver Kookaburras are my all time favorite coins to collect.
Why don't you build them using treated pine and paint over them. Will be durable and look nice. These steel ones tough or weak look ugly, don't you think?
I've had my put together raised beds for over 4 years and they are still in good knick even in the hot queensland sun. I use the 2m x 1m x 0.4m ones. I can see why the taller ones might get compromised.
Diy all the way for me mate.Most of those flat pack garden beds are rubbish mate.
You get what you pay for.Cheap generally equals rubbish from my experience.
G'day Mark, you should come out with your brand of raised beds!
"Bob should be my auntie"???
Why you don't use big bricks to make your garden beds ?
i enjoy watch your garden.
Whenever our old friend “bunjie mcdodgie” shows up, chaos follows closely behind… Guaranteed!
I have been watching many of your videos..very informative. Thank you. What is your opinion on adding grass and chopped up leaves as compost to a garden? Thank you
Dan
I got the lower set version of this, the one that's only 1 panel high. The plastic posts on those have been fine but I can imagine them not being any use on a double stack with the forces against it
Evidently the designer is not a gardener.
Great video, thank you! Good to know as I start to plan out making a raised bed garden. Absolutely agree that music is NOT needed. I much prefer the hear you and the birds rather than any music.
Gday, I live in the northwest and I’m looking for the right materials to make some raised garden beds, I can get straight pieces of corrugated, galvanised pieces. If I make a rectangle using a star picket on each side and then I need something non-wooden as my corner posts, the termites will kill it in a year… any ideas?
