Raised bed builds, planter boxes, potting benches, storage projects, mud kitchens, outdoor upgrades
DIY Projects covers hands-on builds for the garden, from the structures that hold your soil to the workspaces and storage that make daily tasks easier. The articles in this category walk through raised beds in cedar and white oak, a 4x4 bed built as a first weekend project, and a cold frame topper that fits existing beds. You will also find potting bench plans for small spaces, a cedar potting bench with a cut list, and a garden arbor built from cedar or white oak.
The category also reaches beyond beds and benches. Articles cover greenhouse options ranging from cold frames to walk-in structures, a root cellar for storing garden produce, a worm composting bin, and compost bins built from pallets and other designs. Other pieces cover screws and fasteners for raised beds, drip irrigation, garden fencing against deer, rabbits, and groundhogs, and a bee house for solitary bees.
