Making Raised Bed

We want to plant some vegetables in my yard. However, we don't want to destroy the lawn, so we decided to use raised bed. After shopping around, we realized that raised bed is so expensive, so it's time to build our own raised bed. The first thing is to cut the wood into the dimensions we want. Then we painted these woods with linseed oil. Next step is to assemble these pieces together. We used nails and sometimes it's quite hard to do. Fortunately, we bought 2 inch thick wood instead of thinner ones, which makes the nailing process easier. After finishing the perimeters, we need to add wood sticks to connect the two layers, also to provide frame for plants to climb. At the end, we have some extra pieces of wood, so we nail them to the sides of raised bed for reinforcing. Totally we spent several hours to complete the project. Now our cucumbers are growing in the raised bed.
