5/12/2024 Wood and concrete block raised garden bed

I’ve been waiting a couple years to build this bed. I went to Lowe’s and bought the concrete corner blocks for 2 for $5, the pine 2x6x8 for $5.88, and pressure treated for the ground 2x6x8 for $7.88. The total cost was $61.28 and to fill it was all materials I had on hand. I put cardboard at the bottom, covered it with leaves an added some dirt that I dug out of the yard. I put a bunch of drink and egg containers next to help retain some moisture plus the worms really like them. Then I sifted compost and the large pieces I added to the bed first and mixed some rice hulls into the compost. I purchased the rice hulls a few years ago when I couldn’t buy perlite or vermiculite. The rice hulls do a similar job helping to create some aeration and it a natural, breakdown in around 5 years. It took around 16 wheelbarrow to fill the bed, I know the bed will settle and as the leaves breakdown I will need to add more compost to top off the bed.
