My parents are really into gardening and have a massive garden. If I had a yard, I’d definitely put it to use. Mowing lawn is boring. Weeding and growing a garden is thrifty and efficient — just my style.

The differences being I used 12″ 2×4′s on the outside instead of your 1×2′s on the inside. They make a darn easy garden that, if you don’t end up liking, you can disassemble and have your grass back in a month (VERY rich soil after sitting there for a while.)

Also, if you have a trailer, the soil is usually cheaper to buy from a garden center/nursery in the form of Pro-Mix (for flowers) or Garden-Mix (for veggie gardens). It just weighs a WHOLE lot, so be careful.

If anyone wants detailed plans/instructions, just lemme know.
