How To Build a Raised Garden Bed Out Of Cinder Blocks

How to prepare the location

 
1. First off, make sure the ground is level. This makes it easy to arrange the blocks to make it look neat.

2. You can choose whichever height you want. For example, in the video, the gardener used two layers of the concrete blocks. This provides a bigger space for your crops.

3. You can fill the concrete with some soil so that you can plant herbs such as Italian parsley. Also, you can plant flowers in these holes as well.

Extra tips:

1. Make sure that you fill the raised garden with water. Remember that when you water the soil, it will be more firm.

2. Every plant has different requirements on how you should plant them. Strictly follow the instructions given on the plant tag. This will enable you not to miss any crucial points such as spacing.

3. You can also leave one of the concrete blocks without soil. You can use it to put your tools inside them as you work.

4. Ensure that you water the plants regularly.

Conclusion

These raised gardens take up little space in your garden. Also, older people who have issues with back pains can now enjoy farming as they used to when they were young. This is because the ground is raised and therefore, they do not have to bend so much when working. You can also sit on the concrete blocks while working because the blocks are strong enough..
