![]() How to make a new raised bed garden – Our step by step processĪfter I measured out the space and sketched out the basic plan on paper, Tim double-checked all my math and let me know how much lumber and other materials to order. I loved it, but I was always running out of room and the deer had easy access, something I knew I didn’t want to happen in my new garden. This is my old in-ground 20′ x 30′ vegetable garden. Our blueberries are over 17 years old, so I didn’t want to risk transplanting them or potentially injuring the plants, so I designed the whole garden around them. The new garden would have to embrace the existing row of blueberry bushes.I like the aesthetics of wood, and since we were hiring the neighbor to build it (rather than it being a DIY project), I also knew wood would be less expensive than many other materials and that choice would help lower the budget.
