Happy 1,000th post, Shakyard!
Two years ago, we all pitched in for Mother’s Day and gave my Mom and raised vegetable garden. It was nice in that she is able to sit on the edge and pull weeds, water, and give her plants some TLC. It cost us about $300 in all after putting in bag after bag of soil, buying plants, and more.
However, Barb Rosen with Hometalk was able to build one for a whole lot less by using her neighbor’s old window shutters,
You could do other configurations, but I used two shutters on each side and one-half a shutter for the ends. That used up all ten of the free shutters. Odds and ends of lumber stored in the garage rafters came down and became corner, end and middle supports. I even had enough wood screws from another project to use for this one!
Very nicely done for $0 cost!
