Or raised garden bed is 8′ X 3′ X 18″ and is made from 2″ thick Eastern Red Cedar for durability.  A raised bed provides great control over soil conditions, better drainage, and lessens the need for weeding and fertilizing.  This convenient kit comes easy to assemble and is equipped with long lasting ceramic screws for easy construction and durability. 10 minutes to put together with a screw gun! More if hand screwing, but we predrilled the holes. Not a better one made.
