This article will describe an alternate method to building a standard Citizen Gardener raised bed box<\/a>. \u00a0The advantage to this method over the standard design is that it uses slightly less wood, wastes less wood, and is slightly simplified. \u00a0The disadvantage is the inside diameter of the box is a little less than a full 4′ across, so you can’t get a full 4 ‘squares’ across.<\/p>\n

The reason we used this method for one of the classes was that we used cedar wood instead of standard white wood, and couldn’t get the cedar in the 10′ sizes we needed. \u00a0It worked out fine, so I wanted to provide this write-up so everyone can see another possible way to build boxes when making their raised beds for backyard vegetable gardening.<\/p>\n

Materials (rough-cut cedar lumber)<\/p>\n
