This bed is 39 in tall for a specific reason: it puts the soil at a perfect height for planting without bending or kneeling, and it lifts the crop high enough to prevent wild animals from invading the planting area. The box above measures 36 in by 17 in by 12 in inside and carries up to 110 lb, a large planting volume for herbs, flowers, vegetables, and fruits in a single bed. Inside it, a non-woven protective liner holds soil against the slats and prevents excessive water loss between waterings, secured in position with thumbtacks so it does not slump as the box fills. The slat design underneath promotes good air circulation through the root zone rather than sealing it off. Below the box, a 38.5-in by 19-in shelf carries up to 100 lb, which is where planting tools live instead of being hauled back and forth every session. Construction is premium natural fir wood with exquisite workmanship, thickened side boards, and sturdy connections that keep the garden bed from falling apart under load, and the wood grain surface is polished smooth and burr-free where hands rest on the rim. Assembly takes four steps, and the 20-lb frame with its fabric liner ships together. It suits a patio, garden, lawn, or backyard equally well.
