Decide on the location. Vegetable gardens grow best in a sunny location so vegetables are getting at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.

Prepare the location by measure and marking the perimeter for the garden bed using a spray paint.

Cut your lumber ties to size. Prepare the remaining materials to have on hand.

Assemble the DIY garden bed by positioning one 8’ long mini tie lengthwise. Position one 4′ long cut mini tie at a 90 degree angle from the end of the longer mini tie. Repeat with the others to form an evenly shaped rectangle, staggering the placement of the lumber.

Continue adding and securing addition rows.

Fill the new garden box with leaves, topsoil, compost and other organic matter.

Plan the garden bed and plant your flowers or veggies.
