Eartheasy

An elegant age-old design for raised garden beds.

The Farmstead's mortise-and-tenon raised garden beds are based on a 17th century design. Hand crafted of Vermont White Cedar, these raised beds will last for many years and weather to a soft silver grey. These easy-to-assemble raised bed kits are perfect for vegetable beds and flower beds and will add complimentary beauty to your landscaping.

Three different sizes (select on left, under the pictures)

Small: 4’ wide x 4’ long x 8” tall ($99)
Medium: 4’ x 6’ x 8” ($109)
Large: 4’ x 8’ x 8” ($119)

Wood dimensions: 1.25 inches thick by 8 inches wide by 4 or 6 or 8 feet long.

Tool-Free Assembly

It takes less than five minutes to assemble The Farmstead's raised beds. No tools are required. Simply slip the tenon through the mortise opening and secure with provided wooden pegs. Raised beds can be placed directly on sod, lawn, or even a weedy patch. Once the bed is filled with soil, the vegetation underneath (with a few exceptions) will soon form a mellow composted base. However, for best results you may want to dig down 12" or so to clear any rocks or roots. Fill with a soil mixture to suit your plants and you're ready to go.

No chemical wood preservatives

Unlike pressure treated lumber or railroad ties, the Vermont White Cedar used in these raised garden beds is naturally rot resistant. There are no harmful chemicals that could leach into your soil and plants.

Strong and functional

The lumber used in The Farmstead's raised garden beds is custom sawed to a thickness of 1 1/4 inches for greater strength and longer life. Mortise-and-tenon joints can not pull apart — as may happen with beds that are nailed or screwed together.

Stack them higher, and save your back

The Farmstead's raised beds position the garden surface eight inches above ground level. They can also be stacked two, three, or four high creating a working surface that is 16, 24, or 32 inches high. The weight of the dirt holds them in place on top of each other. To purchase a bed that is 16" high, just purchase two 8" high beds and stack them. For 24", purchase 3 beds, and for 32" purchase 4 beds.
