Yes, you can put a raised bed over grass. You will need to remove the grass and level the area before you build the raised bed. You may also need to add some soil to the area before you build the raised bed.
A raised bed is a garden bed that is raised above the ground. It is usually filled with soil or compost. You can fill a raised bed with just compost, but it is best to mix it with soil to help with drainage.
Raised garden beds are a great way to garden, but many people wonder if they need drainage. The answer is yes and no. If you are using raised beds to grow vegetables, then you will need to make sure that the bed has good drainage. However, if you are just using the bed for ornamental plants, then drainage is not as important.

Okay, so the photo is different from what I actually got. O purchased this because the picture showed the wood to be darker than the other pieces. When it first arrived, it was light pine.I merely bought a sealer with some stain because I knew this wood would need to be treated (waterproofed).Here are some suggestions I have for you would-be purchasers. If you want to accomplish this correctly and have it last, then...Seal the wood using a sealant. Next, purchase hardware cloth for the bottom of your bed to keep moles, mice, and other critters that like to burrow out of doors out of your food source. Finding some cardboard to lay down in the bed before adding dirt comes next when that is finished. This offers many of advantages. So that you do not have to dig, it destroys the grass (as long as you make sure to cover all the bottom). Cardboard is a favorite of earthworms and will allow water to soak through. Those never perform poorly in soils.

This was a Christmas present for my mother. I put it together this spring, working entirely alone save for the time my mother's extra pair of hands helped me with the "tent." Once I gave up trying to figure out the directions, which were all shown in images, I discovered that it was actually quite simple. (I do considerably better when given written directions; if the instructions include pictures, that's OK.)I constructed two independent garden beds and covered one of them with the mini-greenhouse tent (you may construct two 4' x 4' beds or one double-high 4' x 4' bed). Although I could have constructed the tent on my own, it was simpler with assistance. I was happy with how well-made the tent was. The material is highly resilient. You can reach the full bed using both since two sides unzip. [Refer to the change addressing the tent below.] In order to prevent the garden from overheating during the day while also shielding it from insects, birds, and errant weed seeds, there is a fabric mesh that also unzips underneath the zippable plastic sides. If desired, you can then zip the plastic back up at night to maintain the warmth of the day. (It gets chilly at night because we reside in the mountains in north-central Pennsylvania.) Once the plants have grown to the desired size, the tent is simple to take down.The quality of the kit delighted me greatly. The weight was one of the factors that led me to choose this over a wooden item. I was wary of heavier ones made of wood because of my back issues and this one was really lightweight.If you practice square-foot gardening, you'll notice that each side has tiny arrows denoting the quarters (the interior sides are not exactly 4', so having the arrows saves having to do any math), and I was able to attach wooden lath to mark off the planting squares with ease. Either nails or screws would be suitable in this situation.The lightweight frames would transfer with ease if I decided to move the gardens; I would only need to scoop out the growing mix.For anyone searching for a portable, simple-to-assemble garden kit for square-foot gardening or other raised bed gardens, I highly recommend them.UPDATE: I ordered a second of the same thing because I enjoyed the first one so much. Why wait until the next spring to buy another, I reasoned, because the price had already increased. Unfortunately, the kit I received was not the same as the one I purchased in November. One of the reasons I loved the kit and wanted to buy another was because the one I bought featured a grow-tent that could be unzipped on two sides, resembling a small greenhouse. This allowed me to easily care for all of the planted sections from either side of the tent, including watering, thinning, picking, transplanting, etc. There is only one zippered opening in the new style. As a result, even though I can easily water the half nearest to the opening and the third quarter, I have to elevate the tent on the other side to water the farthest portion. Without really taking that part of the tent down, I won't be able to thin and pick on that side either. Additionally, the original design allowed me to cross-ventilate the plants effectively throughout the day by leaving the plastic unzipped during the day and zipping it up at night when it was cooler. The new design provides very little cross-ventilation, and I'm concerned that the tent may become overheated during the day even with one side entirely unzipped, including the netting.I have reduced my rating from five stars to four because the growth tent was one of the main reasons I bought a second kit and it turned out to be noticeably less effective than the first. Only those who don't care about the tent or who only intend to use it in the early spring should consider getting it if they don't mind having to entirely lift up the far side of the tent in order to equally water the bed. (Since I practice square-foot gardening, I water each square separately rather than filling the box to the brim.)The first kit still makes me extremely happy, but the second one was a huge letdown. Actually, I was intending to buy a second, separate tent in the spring for the gardens of the following year so that three of the four beds could be utilized for early planting, but I'm not going to do that anymore.It is always disappointing when something costs more than it used to and is of lower quality. I was somewhat aback by how drastically the product had altered in the few months since I had first purchased it.

My narrative doesn't get off to a great start, but it gets better. Two of the planter boxes were harmed when mine was delivered. As I write this, fresh parts are on their way to me after I contacted the firm and submitted some pictures of the broken pieces.The frame is quite strong and has a great appearance. The layout itself is attractive. I'd change a couple things. One would be stronger planter boxes, while the other would focus on the stand's folding back leg design. The folding bracket is somewhat tough to fold up and doesn't collapse all the way. After putting everything together, I was concerned that I could bend something when I delivered it to my mother. It's not a big deal at all, just a little bothersome.I still wouldn't consider it to be worthy of less than 4 stars. My mom adored it, and I found it to be enjoyable. Excellent customer service was also provided. I sent my email one afternoon, got a reply the following morning, and had parts arrive the same afternoon. I'd make another purchase from this firm.

I currently have five of these garden beds, which I utilize outside during the summer. I've had two of them for nearly two years, and I recently bought three more. Due to their delivery being damaged around the base where the legs meet the garden box, I had to send back 2 of these items. At the stem of the drain stopper on the interior base of the tub, I had a third one that was broken. This one I didn't return since I think I can easily glue it back in place (see attached picture). Despite coming from separate merchants, they appear to come in the same package. They are allegedly drop-shipped, in my opinion. It is really disheartening to receive anything just in time for planting season and then have to return it and wait for a replacement, thus the shipper (OEM?) needs to tough up the packaging. However, the units I did get and that came in good form have been quite successful for me. They do well in direct sunlight and so far don't appear to be deteriorating. Numerous enormous 4' x 8' x 16' planters make up my garden space "For the past ten years, I've used garden beds for my gardening. With the exception of one, which is cedar, I fashioned them out of pine, and they have lasted well up until lately. These beds are taking their place as they are starting to rot ( I put two of them in the footprint of one of my older beds with a nice partition between them that makes it easy to access them on both sides.). They seem to be considerably less vulnerable to the varmints like mice and chipmunks who like to steal my vegetables. I place a few stakes in the ground at each of the four corners, wrap a circle of screen around the bed, and then drape another screen over the top. This works really well to keep animals away at the start of the season. This year, I had a tremendous harvest in both beds, which can accommodate 3–4 tomato plants or 6 pepper plants. If the bed is used indoors, a plastic plug that can be inserted into the base to contain a reservoir of water can be utilized to lessen the frequency of watering cycles. I cannot attest to the effectiveness of the water collecting and feeding system because I have not yet employed them indoors (that will be this year's effort), but I will provide an update in the spring on how well I did. I take off the plug when using them outside and let the water drain. I water the beds every two to three days, which seems sufficient considering that this year we only received significant rain twice over the summer. Three cu ft or so of soil are stored in the garden beds. View images. The beds measure 17" x 42" and are a lovely 12" deep "on the inside perimeter, as measured. The water plugs are elevated so that they will hold 4 inches of water when used outside "prior to draining This gives the soil enough reserve to stay moist in between rain or waterings. A simple piece of foam-like material on a stick, mounted to a tube that attaches to the bed's bottom panel, serves as the watering indicator. The foam floats upward as the water level rises, and the indicator on the stick's protruding end emerges from the tube to reveal the water level. There are two portions to the foot. The bottom component, which I estimate to be about 4 inches long and connects to the basin, is secured in place by a sheet screw on the longer section "just continue with the longer segment. They fall off the bed every time I lift it up to move it, which I don't like. It's not a big deal, and I could probably just glue them there to keep them there, but it's still important to note. Overall, I enjoy the beds and I hope they last for a long time. I don't like that there's a 50% chance (at least based on my experience) that it will be delivered damaged. That gets a star less.

This raised bed is a good deal and a suitable design for what we wanted compared to some of the more expensive raised beds. It was simple and quick to put together, but I had to use my own 1/2" longer screws because most of the supplied screws were too short (shame on you manufacturer... this is an easy fix). The parts were all there and undamaged. I like how each compartment has its own liner or can just hold a pot. Plan beforehand because one drawback is that water will just drain through the liners. We'll be sure not to keep it outside after the growing season because the wood is soft. I'm hoping the wood doesn't deteriorate, but given that it's cedar, I suppose it won't. When the box was opened, it had a GREAT fragrance. It is VERY light weight, making it simple to move it and bring it inside when necessary, but we will need to be careful when it is windy. Right now, we're satisfied with our buy.

I wasn't really impressed when I initially got it because the panels came in such a tiny box; I wasn't even sure it was the appropriate size. It is the proper size once it has been put together. I wouldn't call it frail, but it's not the strongest. If you choose the green one, I believe it will last, especially with a coat of paint. I believe the pricing is reasonable given that building your own 1-foot-tall raised bed out of wood would cost about as much, including the wood screws, and the wood would degrade more quickly.The screws did come with mine, though. After lightly screwing everything together with my hands, I find it easier to use a power drill to properly tighten all the screws.

Assume you'll need to add a few extra brackets to strengthen it. I tried the same thing with a different brand of these that I have of these. Purchase a set of small, square corner brackets (you might want to wait to buy them because the corner is not a flat corner - it is a square raise off) and a set of flat square brackets to tie the bottom pieces together to support the weight of the soil. You will unquestionably need at least four corner brackets per side, and I did six L brackets to hold the bottom to the walls. After that, you ought to be ready to travel. I went to Lowe's and I believe I spent an extra $20 on brackets. The walls of this planter are joined together by slits rather than by screws. I didn't need instructions because putting it together right out of the box only took me about 20 minutes. very simple The planter itself took less time to make than the brackets. Technically, it is "genuine" wood, but if you truly want it to last, you'll need to treat it. Since I live in Seattle, where it truly rains continuously for seven or eight months out of the year and I water every day in the summer, I always use high-quality deck paint to withstand the elements (Cabot is the best by far). Just remember not to paint directly on the plants (inside). Additionally, it was fantastic that the planter's liner was already in place. Others I had failed. Again, I'd buy this. Like I stated, the setup was quite simple, and the liner was a big advantage. When assembling it, all you will need to do is lightly tap the wood pieces into the slits with a hammer. easy going I've constructed my own and had others, but both required a lot of drilling.

Since I wasn't sure of the quality, I only ordered two of the six sets of brackets I required. I was delighted when I received the first two sets. This thing does not look as good as it is. Excellent black paint work, very robust metal, neatly drilled holes, one tack weld to hold this corner together. These will undoubtedly withstand years of use in the garden, in my opinion. You may be sure that there will be a lot of holes accessible for driving screws or hammering nails thanks to all the pre-drilled holes.Revised: 05/23/15My garden was just done being planted. These corner brackets perform admirably. The 2 x 12 boards have no rust and show no signs of warping. Second year in the garden, and I'm still extremely content.a.p.r. 7/31/16A picture of one of my brackets, which is currently in its third gardening season, is attached. Yes, it looks somewhat different from the seller's photo, but it still functions as intended. To complement some other garden items, I spray painted mine copper. I bought these since the boards don't warp. Six raised beds are tight and solid, and none of my corners have any rust. I still strongly support these corners.Updated on 6/13/19I had just finished planting the final garden items. I looked over all twelve of the corner brackets I had put in five years earlier. zero rust The same things exist today as they did the day I installed these. I still strongly advise it.

incredibly easy to put together. The corner pieces could have been a little bit more robust, though. They also need to be more precisely trimmed. Because it was a little more difficult to fit one of the boards in, one of the corner pieces slightly fractured. One board was fractured, while another was distorted. Since this is my first attempt, I believe none of the problems will prevent it from working, making it ideal for a novice. In order to supplement the garden, I'm hoping to have some vegetables. Without hesitation, I would buy more items.
If you are using a standard 4x8-foot raised bed, you will need about 16 bags of soil to fill it. This will vary depending on the type and size of bag you purchase.
A raised garden bed is a great way to grow your own vegetables, herbs, and flowers. But is it cheaper to buy or build a raised garden bed? If you have the time and the tools, you can save money by building your own raised garden bed. You'll need to purchase some lumber and hardware, but you can probably find most of what you need at your local hardware store. If you don't have the time or the inclination to build your own raised garden bed, you can buy one ready-made. You'll find a wide variety of raised garden
There are a few things to consider when deciding if wood or metal is better for raised garden beds. Wood is typically cheaper than metal, but it can rot over time and may need to be replaced more often. Metal is more expensive up front, but it will last longer and is easier to keep clean. Metal is also less likely to rot or attract pests.
If you are looking to increase the amount of time your plants spend growing and decrease the amount of time you spend weeding, then you may want to consider lining your raised garden bed with plastic. By lining the bed with plastic, you will create a barrier between the soil and the weeds, essentially smothering them. This will give your plants a chance to take root and grow without competition. Some gardeners may shy away from using plastic because they worry about the environmental impact. However, there are many types of plastic that are recyclable or made from recycled materials. If
If you are looking to add some extra drainage to your raised garden bed, then putting rocks in the bottom is a great idea. The rocks will help to keep the soil in the bed from getting too soggy and will also help to improve drainage. Just make sure that you use a layer of rocks that is at least 4 inches thick so that it can effectively do its job.
