Making Raised Garden Beds

Custom Bed Under Construction
Custom Bed Under Construction

The custom-built raised garden bed is nearing completion. I’ll need to put another coat of stain on tomorrow morning. The other beds I’ve made I’ve used the Wagner PowerSprayer to put on the stain, but because the stain is so thin, it tends to run and to make splotches. So this time I decided to hand stain with a paintbrush. I won’t do that again! It took what seemed to be forever to get finished. Better is to spray on the stain and then use a brush to wipe up the runs.

The green color in the picture is because of the lighting and the reflection from the wet driveway. It really isn’t green!

We’ll be going to the Farmers Market again this Saturday morning. I’m going to make up some small planter boxes and take them in for sale. Hopefully I can sell them on the spot. Pictures forthcoming when I’ve got a couple of them made (maybe tomorrow).
