Frugal Raised Garden Bed

 I am excited to share my new raised garden bed for you. I created the entire thing for $13~ ten of which was soil. That's right, all the supplies cost me $3.

I bought these 3 thick boards at the Restore for $3.

I found these framed bed springs on the side of the road in a pile of junk marked free.

My hubby cut the longer piece of wood in half and nailed it together.

Then my hubby drove the steel fence posts (which I also found in a pile of free stuff) into the ground.

Bed springs were attached to the poles (with cable ties) and staked down at the bottom.

I filled it with soil.

Then I planted 3 Butternut Squash plants. Here is the finished product.

My dog likes it!

We put this together about 3 weeks ago. Here is a photo I just took. My squash are really growing! I've been training them to grow up the bed springs. So far so good!!

And the dog still seems to love it! Haha!
