Wife and I are trying to build a beautiful garden. Instead of buying pre-built raised garden beds, I’m going to build them! Need some advice.

Y’all,

I’m super excited. I love gardening/landscaping/etc., but I’ve always “found a reason” to put off the work.

This year my wife and I decided that we should be more active in joint hobbies. Here we are.

We have a 1/8 acre backyard in downtown Atlanta and want to build something to be proud of.

We’re thinking of starting small, 2 raised garden beds. 4 ft 4 in length by 2 ft 2 in width.

Want to have them about 3 feet tall (dogs.). And would love to install the little irrigation hoses.

Any tips, tricks, etc. would be so helpful.

My thoughts
