DIY Raised Garden Beds for less than $60? Yes, please!
While on the hunt for the perfect additions to our foodscape, I couldn’t stomach paying $100+ for each bed knowing the cost of fertilizer, soil, seeds, and care on top of it! We are on a major budget so there was no way that was going to happen.

After combing through all of our options, we opted for concrete garden blocks and untreated 2x6x8’s.
This was the easiest way for us to create beds that will work for our space and be mobile in case we need to move them.

Here’s what you will need for a 4’x8′ bed:
Easy enough🤷🏼♀️
Concrete Garden Blocks
2x6x8’s
You need 4 blocks, for each corner of the bed.
You need 3 2x6x8’s- you will keep 2 the full length and then cut one directly in half.
Once you have your blocks and wood cut, just slide each piece in the slots of the blocks and your bed is ready to be filled! You could even double it up to make a taller bed.
We get our Non-GMO heirloom seeds from True Leaf Market! We absolutely love this company and take every opportunity to support it. Their seeds are the highest quality, their staff and support are amazingly helpful, and we love that they have a warehouse cat named Taylor that keeps up quality control🐾 We found their seeds last year and will forever buy from them!
This is the easiest way to build some raised beds on a budget, and I wouldn’t go any other route. The price may be different depending on your location, but for us it came out to about $55 per bed- SCORE!
