In this epic gardening video we walk through the top 5 best materials to use when you're making or buying a raised garden bed. I also discuss several materials to avoid.

All of these raised garden bed materials, Wood, cedar, cinder block, stock tanks, corrugated steel and Corten steel, have their pluses and minuses. If you're growing vegetables in your raised bed, definitely avoid the materials I mentioned (old tires, pressure treated wood, wood pallets and railroad ties).

Here's a breakdown of the video segments below! Be sure to see the article links beyond that. Happy gardening!
