Left the wife know I can cut and screw a few boards together kinda half decent. Ever since j built my little shooting bench and a gate she's been acting like I'm some konda carpenter

Been on me about wanting some planter boxes , told her if she can find a design she wants id try .. well she found the one she really wanted but ..


Just looking at the pictures just looks like a bunch of 2x2 stakes and 1 by's ! Said she wanted that but smaller ,shorter and without all the extra bits so went to Lowe's mapped it out in the floor ....then went to the smaller place down the road and



If I planned it all right should be 3' tall 6 long 6 wide 4 deep and like 2' planter sides.....


We will see

The honey-do list never, ever gets shorter.

She's got you trained well, Wolfie.

If ya have access to pallets, that'd keep cost down. Oh and it's now to late, she knows what ya can do lol. A smart Man acts dumb!

I think this is one of the reasons my husband loves when we travel in the spring.... less work for him to do around the house since we aren't home!

Or screw it up so bad she doesn't ask again, LOL.

Made mine a trash can holder for Mother’s Day the double can type several years ago even used treated lumber you know the good stuff. I’m still waiting for a thank you.

if you have to rebuild it every year because the pallet wood rots out that fast in ground contact , seems like it isn't a good time savings

But she wouldn't ask Wolfie to do it again! On a serious note, you can treat them, line them, to make them last a while. My neighbors are still doing good after bout 5 years. Just a thought...

lol, wait till she tells her friends you’re good at it. You’ll, be rented out soon. Lol

Great job doing projects for your wife. And you get to buy new tools and equipment,

Awesome.

200 bucks and a days labor for 30 dollars worth of vegetables, lol....but at least she's happy.....for the moment.

Hopefully that was the newer kind of treated wood, the old stuff is a no-no for raised beds.

I made some raised beds for my house years ago. Made the beds over top of the old garden. So they are only raised 6 inches above the rest of the garden. So the deeper rooting plants can get a get a bit more structure and I didnt have to spend a fortune in buying peat moss, compost and bedding soil. Amazing how much this stuff can add up to.

You screwed up Donovan…… right after you got married you should have put one of her high end sweaters in the dryer…. on permanent press. She’d never ask you to anything again……


Just kidding, good on you for putting the project out together for her.

Look at the farmers market...one tomato plant can grow ya at least 30 bucks worth of tomatoes.

Heck buddy, make her a mess of them and build her a produce stand for the end of the lane. Sell them to passersby’s.

If that is PT Ground contact lumber, it will leach toxins into the soil, maybe OK for flowers, but I wouldn't want to eat anything from it.

Nice job.The list grows longer

I made my own while the hubby was at work.
Rectangular is the easiest.
Chicken wire on top keeps the squirrels out and can help with hail.

Just got some of my tomatoes planted, about a week earlier this year. Hoping we don't get one last freeze.

Listen to BigBob. If you are using treated lumber and planting anything edible, line it with something to prevent toxins from leaching into the soil.

X3,,hope you didnt get pressure treated lumber.
