About the garden beds

Bed Sizes
The raised beds come in two sizes: 42” by 42” and 42” by 84”. The beds are 18” tall without the wood attached to the top. This makes a comfortable working height with minimal bending. The beds were purposely designed to allow the user to reach the middle of the grow space with little effort.

Modular
Each bed can stand alone, connect to another, or stack on top of another. This gives the user the ability to make many shapes to better fit their garden layout. You may also decide to stack beds giving you a 36” tall grow space. This would allow easy harvesting of your bush plants and strawberries.

Durability
Every part on the bed is premium galvanized steel. The side panels are 22 gauge thick with 1.5” tall ribs. This means your raised bed will not bow out when filled with soil. The square bed weighs approximately 48 pounds and the large bed 65 pounds.

Gardening the Baker Creek Way! 

OUR VERY OWN BOOK! Learn about us and our gardening methods!

By Jere and Emilee Gettle, with Meghan Sutherland. Published by Hyperion. 

This unique chart presents gardening events in a time-phased format, using a horizontal calendar so that it is possible to see the entire Planting, Growing, and Harvesting period at a glance. Chart shows proper Indoor & Outdoor planting times relative to local spring and fall frost dates for 22 commonly grown garden vegetables. Since frost dates vary, the RED frost line slides, making Clyde's chart useful in most parts of the Northern Hemisphere, where frost is a critical gardening factor. A Listing of Local Spring and Fall frost dates is included in the directions, (US & Canada). The front of the chart presents the Spring Season, and the flip side acts as a guide for Fall gardeners. Chart also provides planting data; seed quantity, seeding depths and row/plant distances, minimum outdoor soil temperature for germination, sunlight requirements, expected yield and natural companions for companion planting, (where the roots nourish each other). Developed by a friend and customer, this handy chart is a favorite of our staff and customers to our store, so we have added it to the catalog. A must for new gardeners.

A seed saving guide unlike any other available! Seed activist Bevin Cohen takes a deep dive into the hows and whys of the modern seed saving movement. A great how-to guide, leading the reader step by step through the process of saving their seeds from 43 different crops; from adzuki beans to wheat and everything in between. Seed savers of all levels will benefit from Bevin's easy to follow explanations on important techniques such as hand pollination, isolation, vernalization and even basic flower structure.A book like this would not be complete without stories that honor the many gardeners, farmers and seed keepers that have dedicated their lives to stewarding these heritage varieties. Within these pages, the seed keepers themselves share their stories and help the reader to understand the importance of SAVING OUR SEEDS.

The leveling kit can be used to level your new bed on uneven ground. You can adjust each corner of the bed in increments of ½” with a max adjustment of 5”. The kit includes 4 leveler brackets and 8 bolts with nuts. To install, place bed in final position. Lift the corners of the bed, to make level, then prop up with scrap wood or rocks. Place the level bracket in the corner(s) then secure with hardware as shown. Be sure the level brackets are resting on a hard surface or place a small rock or piece of wood under the bracket to stop the bracket from sinking in the ground.

*Note: These bolts are close together so the nuts will need to be tightened with a wrench or a pair of pliers.

You may decide to level the bed with rocks, bricks or something different. This is fine to do but only place the item being used to level the bed directly under the corners.

Stacking beds allows the user to have a 36” tall bed. You may do this to allow easy harvest for some crops. Two beds of the same size can be stacked, or you can achieve a “stair stepped” effect by stacking a small bed on one end of a large bed. I will show you this scenario as it uses different brackets to achieve this look. If stacking two beds of the same size use 4 corner couplers.

Stacking Kit:
This kit includes 4 corner couplers,
2 “L” shaped brackets, 2 rectangular shims,
and 8 bolts with nuts.

The wood kit consists of brackets for mounting the wood to the top of your bed and
decorative corner covers. The corner cover also helps hold your wood together at the joint.
The wood top is for sitting and allows the user to sit while they garden.
