Episode 8: Raised Garden Bed Part 1: Back to Eden Gardening | South Florida
Centered on Back to Eden Gardening in South Florida with Wood-chips, and a layering method
In this video I cover my progress while constructing an Interlocking Raised Bed.
No tools needed except for a Level / Mallet along with corner stones, link below, and 2 x 4’s.
My Raised bed was made with the following materials for a total height of a 2ft high Raised Bed:
If you are making 1/5 ft raised bed then you will only need four pieces of everything listed below:
A Raised Garden Bed is the best way to start your garden if you want to grow your own food and a way to become self sufficient. Very easy to make especially if you just want something small to start with.

Interlocking Stones can be found at Lowes or Home depot:

Materials Used:
1. 16 pieces of 2” x 4ft
2. 16 Interlocking Stones/ Use rebar to poke hole open on the bottom of the interlocking stone.
3. 4 Pieces of Rebar, one is 36” and the other 3 were 2ft. I am planning on making the bed higher that is why I tried the 36’ Rebar.
4. Cardboard for the bottom layer.
5. My mistake was NOT TAKING OUT ALL GRASS! If you do not want grass growing in your bed no matter the height then I would suggest taking out ALL of the grass.
6. Branches, whole or chopped up.
7. Bag of Sphagnum Peat Moss for aeration.
8. 2 Bags of Compost/Cow Manure – You can use whatever your store has or if you live on a farm use from Chicken Coup. One bag goes on top of branches / Logs if you have them.
9. Real Wood-Chips with some Topsoil.
10. Level / Mallet (not necessary)
11. Constructing the box is as easy as laying down a corner stone and then inserting a 2 x 4 into each side.
12. Linseed Oil to Naturally Seal the Wood. Can be applied after the box is built or can be done before you put the wood on the ground.
13. Seeds to Plant. Layer all above materials inside the Raised Bed after your bed has been constructed.
