This is how I decided to make make my raise garden. I used 8 foot rail road ties and laid them in a square and used card board to stop weeds growing up from the ground. then I added dirt and fencing around the garden. We grew pototoes, tomatoes, carrots, peas, lettuce kale.

Make sure to plan ahead and have an idea of what you wanna plant that grow good where you live. You'll wanna make sure to water your plant and pull the weeds out so your plants get sun light.
