These DIY raised garden plans have been created through my experience building hundreds of garden beds in homes across New Zealand. Over time, I’ve refined the most usable sizing, techniques, and methods to create a functional and strong raised garden bed.
These plans are designed to build a raised garden measuring 1250mm wide x 2500mm long x 400mm tall. The same method can be applied to shorter, longer, or even taller raised garden beds.
A quick tip: add a layer of cardboard at the bottom of your garden bed, then a solid layer of sticks, twigs, and other organic matter before topping it with compost and soil.
Also check out our 3 bay compost systems to keep your green waste cycling back into the soil and creating rich, living compost at home.
