A few days ago, I was a bit perplexed to see leaks around my kitchen sink, as it had suddenly occurred at night. I thought my dog might have been out of the pen or that one of the cats was up and running.

Pet disasters are just not as entertaining for me to write about when entertaining readers is what you want to do with your blog.

What to expect when having a raised bed built

When you’re thinking of installing a raised bed, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, the size of your bed will determine how much material you need. A small bed will use up less material, while a larger one will use more. Second, make sure you have the right tools for the job. You’ll need a sturdy ladder, and a shovel and trowel to dig the bed hole and build the frame. Finally, give your bed plenty of time to settle.

Building an Octagonal or U-Shaped Raised Bed

Building an octagonal or U-shaped raised bed is a great way to maximize the use of your yard and garden space. It’s also a great way to create privacy and sheltered seating areas. By following these simple tips, you can build your own raised bed in just a few hours.

1. Start by measuring the width and height of your desired raised bed using a tape measure. Remember to allow for an extra foot or two on either side, in case you need to trim the bed later on.

2. Draw a diagram of your desired shape on paper, using XX-inch measurements for the width and height of each section. Don’t forget to leave room for cultivation soil and plant growth!

3. Purchase about 8 cubic yards of soil (or enough to fill your raised bed halfway), and begin mixing it in with a shovel or tiller. As you add soil, make sure it is evenly spread out across the surface of your drawing.

4. Once all the soil has been added, begin filling in each section of your raised bed, compacting the soil as you go until it is firmly packed. Be careful not to compact too much, or you’

Making your own raised bed

Raised beds have been around for centuries and they are an amazing way to garden. There are many different types of raised beds, so whatever your gardening needs may be, there is probably a raised bed that can suit them.

You will also want to consider how wide you want your bed to be and how high it should be off the ground.

Plus, the height difference provides obstacle courses that keep kids occupied for hours on end (plus, it's super cool to see them triumph over those obstacles).
