Sorry, I don't have a way to take a picture, no phone, and it's been snowing and raining, so I haven't had a chance to put it together. However, the 30" tall one I bought and planted 80 cloves of garlic, 4 different kinds, is doing just fine. A little taller than I had imagined, but it's doling fine. Next I'll be planting some of those carrots that are about 2 to 3 feet long !
Tiffany D.
Great raised beds! We chose some tall ones so our health conscious dogs would not be able to reach greens to snack on. The shorter ones we are going to use for tomatoes, peppers, other taller growing plants and are hoping to put a trellis between the two rows. Super easy to put together. Going to fill up bottom half of beds this spring with a dead tree we need to cut down on our property.
Becca T.
These beds look fabulous and only took me about half an hour to put together. I can't wait until the snow is gone and I can put dirt in them.
Susan F.
Our winter garden of cauliflower and sweet peas love their new home! Used our own compost too!
Erika A.
I love these raised beds. They are the absolute most affordable on the market and somehow are also the best ones on the market.
Laura G.
I really love these garden beds. Seems to be made of quality materials. Not to difficult to put together. Kind of on the expensive side, but hoping that they outlast me (I'm 66 y.o.). Am hoping that they last as long as the Aussie tells it.
Kathryn B.
Super easy assembly. Look beautiful!
Can't wait to orchestrate my whole garden with these!
Jamie L.
We have a "few" of these beds. Last year we had the smaller size and now we're adding the larger 8-1 size. These beds are seriously top quality and produced the best garden I've ever had. Filled with logs, brush, leaves, shredded paper etc. Top 6 inches with a mel's mix type soil. You can't go wrong and Kevin gives awesome customer service!
Jeffrey S.
So far my new garden boxes are working great. Can't wait for spring.
Paul B.
Set up my raised bed for next spring.
No winter gardening in Kansas.
Love the way it looks.
Sturdy and beautiful..
Dave H.
Love them so much, have bought more
Rachel R.
For my birthday, I was gifted my first 8-1 birdies bed. I loved it so much that I had to get 3 more! My favorite bed I have going right now is my brassica bed. It's so full of life, and I harvest leaves everyday for my meals. I used hardware cloth on the bottom of my beds to prevent voles from stealing my harvest. The assembly of the beds is so easy and almost therapeutic. I always look for quality gardening equipment that will last for years and be a worthy investment in my future and health. I feel confident that these beds can be easily disassembled and moved with me to wherever I may go.
Elisabeth C.
I ordered these for a fall project once my veges were done for the season. They have replaced 12-year old 1/2 wine barrels that served me well, but were well passed their lifespan. Now I’m heading in a different direction with a pollinator garden, and I love how the Birdie’s beds make this patch of our yard look. I can hardly wait for spring!!!
Diane F.
This was our first experience with raised beds. So happy to have found these Birdies raised beds. They made it easier to reach our plants and we no longer have compacted garden soil since we were no longer stepping on it and we could create our own soil blend. The beds were easy to assemble and the best part is that after a season of gardening, they look as good as the day we started. We're so happy with our purchase that we're planning to buy more!
Erika A.
These raised beds are beautiful, functional, durable, and the most affordable on the market. I love everything about them.
Emily N.
Easy to set up! SO excited to fill. Sheryl Crow clearly loves it (my sisters chicken). Very durable and a perfect size for me.
Joseph P.
Built my mom a garden with these so she wouldn't have to bend down as much. I thought about all the different ways to build a raised garden bed and I didn't want to use wood and have to eventually rebuild/replace it when the wood inevitably rots. So these are expensive, but I like knowing that they won't rust and will last a long time. One and done solution!
Lucy H.
Just finished setting them up. As a single 67 year old woman, I had no issues putting them together on my own! Working on getting soil delivered to fill them to be ready for spring planting (zone 6). Best garden investment ever!
Joshua S.
I got 4 of the beige ones and they look really nice with the black rim guard. Now I just have to fill them.
David Z.
Loving my beds here in the island of Bermuda!
Tri N.
I love the sturdy design and how easy and efficient it is to put the planter box together. The size is just perfect for our garden. The mint color adds a nice touch to the garden. The material is smooth and the curve design is beautiful. In comparison to the premade beds at garden stores, the materials are definitely professionally/industrially made. I can't wait to load the box. Currently, I have 5 bags in and will probably need between 10-15 more bags of soil to adequately fill the bed.
Cheryl T.
Hi Kevin....I had a narrow space on the side of my house between the hose post and a 55 gal rain barrel (full of maturing tadpoles}. I opted to join the two corners on each end and use all 3 panels on the sides, which
gave me a longer garden bed that fit like a glove in that space. I fill the bed a little more each day with sifted compost, wet peat moss, and a proportionate amount of charged biochar.
I originally planned to get this bed prepared as the new home for my strawberries in Spring, but it is making me want to put in some Fall plants like peas now as well as daikon radishes and let those be my cover crop .
I see more 8 in 1 beds in my future. Sincerely, Cheryl
Alexandra R.
So easy to assemble! Such a beautiful, clean look and sturdy design. We filled with logs and sticks and an assortment of decaying materials to sit over winter. Thanks for the fabulous bed!!!
John K.
Bought this for my best bud and his wife as a wedding present. I do in ground gardening, but my wife and I have plans to buy one for ourselves in the future for sure!! Happy growing.
Ps we love learning from your YouTube channel
Nancy T.
The garden bed arrived in an amazingly small box. It was easy to assemble. My daughter and I did it in less than an hour, but I'm sure I could have done it on my own, but a second pair of hands were helpful. The finish is beautiful. I won't be planting in it until spring, as it's getting late in the season. I'm looking forward to raising vegetables.
Robin Conley C.
Just got it put together and can’t wait to start planting!
Barb M.
I have always had wooden raised beds... but I finally gave in last year and went with galvanized tubs from the feed store. I "liked" them but I did not "love" them. I saw these Birdies about a year ago and was hesitant to try them because I thought they might end up being too flimsy, would not fit in with the rest of my garden style, etc. I looked at them so many times... and I finally told myself, JUST GET ONE! I would never know if I really like them unless I tried one in person. I ordered the 8-in-1 in slate grey. My birdie arrived quickly and in perfect condition. The assembly was quick and easy. As soon as I saw it in place in my garden... I LOOOOOOOOVED it! I loved it so much that I ordered a second one just like it... THE NEXT MORNING! Now, I have two Birdie beds that I will be looking forward to gardening in next Spring! Thank you Kevin for being our resource for these awesome beds! I love, love, love these!!!
Laura G.
This is my second raised bed. I LOVE them. They are holding up to the weather, weed wacker, kids, and chickens. I can easily put it together and my plants are thriving.
Therese C.
Just what I have been looking for! Looking to starting prep work for next years growing cycle. Once I have everything laid out, I am thinking will be buying more of these in the future.
Erika A.
I love these raised beds. They are the best option for price, and longevity that I could find. They will make a great garden.
Avery B.
Great product ( very unhealthy shipping and delivery for your business) please take time to build your investment inventory for future growth of your business. Keep buyers happy with proper service. Please! Your mates overseas would not be happy.
Audra J.
I have three and love them! Easy to put together and height is perfect for me to work in.
Chere-Ann B.
Easy to assemble and so far I'm loving it. I have a bad knees and this raised bed made it easy to work on my garden.
Patrick O.
These items appear to be what we ordered, but they took so long to arrive that we haven't been able to use them in the garden as of yet. We will be putting them together this fall for next years garden.
David G.
When we moved in 6 months ago, I discovered that the yard is 100% old sod with really hard dirt underneath. Digging this up is not in the cards. In addition, I use a walker so i prefer to work above ground level. The Birdie raised bed is the perfect solution. In the picture, you can see one with my composter behind it. I need to get two more of these - one to go next to this one and another for a different location to hold blueberries.
Assembling was easy but I don't like their recommended assembly order. I attached a long side panel to each corner to give me four pieces that would stand up. Then I assembled two of these with each end panel to get two U-shaped pieces. These were easy to transport and to align with the trench filled with gravel that supports the panels. Then, I connected the side panels together. I was able to do all of this while sitting on the little green garden scooter in the picture.
The first six inches is filled with various plant trimmings, pieces of wood from an old pallet and shredded corrugated cardboard. This will all compost. The top layer is 24 cu ft of Kellogg's Raised Bed soil.
I have YouTube channel where I will post the assembly steps for the next unit I buy.
Cara H.
Sturdy and easy to assemble! Planning for more in the future!
Charles D.
I have five of these beds in a variety of configurations, ordering a sixth. Always get compliments, and they are a pleasure for me. One hint: leave the nylon trim piece over-long for some months before to cut it—the beds expand slightly and you will want the trim to nicely cover all edges.
Millicent B.
The Birdies Original 8-in-1 Metal Raised Garden Bed (Mist Green) is fabulous! It is well constructed and very easy to assemble. It has enabled us to increase our growing space behind our daylilies without disturbing the existing plants. On both sides and along the back portion of the planter we created trellises from hog panel and bamboo sticks and are growing pole beans, small watermelons, and Zucchini Rampicante vertically. We used the remaining space in the planter to grow peppers and Summer Golden Egg Squash. We highly recommend this product and are looking forward to the arrival of the second one we ordered.
ROSE B.
It was very easy to put together. My tomatoes are loving it.
Karen G.
We just got it set up and we are using it to grow some tomatoes right now. The plants seem happy there. In the fall, I plan to plant my dwarf raspberry and blackberry berry bushes in it. It looks great in our yard and is the same color as our house.
Mary M.
This is my second order I placed with Epic Gardening for garden beds. I absolutely love them. Easy to assemble and love the color - Mist Green.
Natalie G.
Great quality and love the extra height!
Benjamin G.
I bout this set when it was on back order. My existing raised beds are stainless steel and now rotten in less than 3 years. I will be installing my new set when Tomato season is over looking forward for it to last a long time. I will post a photo. BTW my garden was published In Houz magazine.
Tina C.
Perfect solution to my uneven garden. Thin edges make them easy to use on a slope with just a little bit of digging. Pretty color looks great and they are very sturdy but light.
Deborah S.
I LOVE MY RAISED
PLANTERS!!!! The color, the constuction, the color!!!! I’mgoing to order at least one more!
I haven’t planted, that will have to wait until next season; however, I am so excited about growing some veggies and beautiful flowers next season!
Gives me plenty of time to figure out the design I want for my yard!
Thank you so much for the great communication! You guys are awesome!!!!!’
Moshe H.
We have not installed our troughs as yet. We have an incline to deal with and we welcome suggestions and some pictures if you have them available.
Tessie G.
Tah dah… here is my Birdie raise bed!
Perfect for my long yard beans & Romano beans!! Love it!
Vickie B.
I love it, just started planting squash, peppers and watermelon in it. Would love to send a picture when plants are bigger. This is so much easier and better than trying to till our rocks and clay garden. I plan on buy more next year thanks Epic Gardens.
Christine L.
Love these raised beds! Could not wait to get them delivered and set-up. One thing to note, if you’re setting up by yourself, you might get a few scratches in the paint from the pieces rubbing together. It’s barely noticeable, but does happen. Overall very high quality and will probably order more.
Sharon L.
So easy to assemble I did one by myself. (I am retired)
It would have been so much more difficult and expensive to hire a carpenter, purchase lumber and wait for them to fit you into their busy schedule.
Truly as advertised, happy to give you a great review.
nancy M.
Easy to assemble, sturdy. Love it
Robin W.
I have fallen in love with Birdies beds and the plants seem to be enjoy them as well. I started out with 4 smaller beds and recently purchased 4 larger beds, which will be assembled once the deer fence is in place. It is nice having a sturdy product that is going to last me many years without falling apart.
Brenetta D.
Pre-ordered 6-in-1, 8-in-1, and 6-in-1 tall. One was missing a part. I contacted them and the part was sent out quickly. I live in TX.
They were easy to assemble. All the holes lined up well.
Although it came with a tool, I opted to use a cabinet drill and socket because it was not comfortable.
I didn't like the long wait but the communication was open and I got what I ordered. Time will tell if the containers are worth the investment.
Rebecca L.
This bed is phenomenal. Easy to put together and looks very chic, even though it is steel! So much more elegant that plain galvanized steel feed/water bins!
Jill M.
I am amazed at how easily and quickly I was able to assemble my Birdie's 8-in-1 bed. I am not very 'handy' but it was not a problem. It is also very nice looking and sturdy. I could not be happier with it!
Nancy D.
Two 8-in-1 and one 6-in-1 beds newly installed next to blueberry patch in barrels. Installation was easy with clear instructions and an included tool. Assembled beds are light enough to pick up and try alternate placements before filling. The mint green beds are next to and integrated with an overall landscaping design at the end of a our swimming pool, making the beds both functional and attractive. Sending a second photo to show planting in the beds.
Kathleen B.
I love my new Birdies raised bed. My son put it together quickly and easily. I look forward to many gardens growing in it. Thank you!
Pamela M.
We had a large wooden above ground bed full of weeds and clay dirt. We wanted something more durable since the weeds found their way through the wood. We discovered Epic gardening while watching a video on you tube that suggested using a Birdies Bed. They were Super easy to assemble. They were shipped in a manageable box. We placed them on a border of gravel with landscape fabric only around the perimeter (we dug a narrow trench around the border). Covered the the bottom with cardboard, newspaper, twigs and small logs. It will take a yard of conditioned soil (we mixed the clay dirt with 10 bags top soil, 5 bags of black cow, 2 bags of peat moss and 2 bags perlite) to fill them. We will put mulch around the plants once mature. Keep them watered! We are pretty certain the Birdies bed will hold up nicely! Looking forward to a plush garden!
Cindy T.
So easy to plant and maintain! I love it and am planning to get more!
Hannah H.
I love this bed! The perfect size I needed and it went together pretty easily.
Jan D.
Love this garden bed and we love the color! Had some issue with not enough hardware and Kevin and the team came through beautifully and with exceptional customer service! They sent me extra hardware right away and my bed is now in perfect shape.
I will happily send a photo when I have things growing!!
Thank you again!
Jan
Harold W.
Missing hardware in one box but otherwise very satisfied with purchase
Gray H.
Easy to setup and very well made!
Once we got it on the ground we partially filled it with some sticks/logs then added topsoil and compost - we went with the configuration that gave us the most space and filled this bed with our tomatoes. I built a 'trellis' on top of it to try and train the tomatoes up the strings suspended by the structure
Rose M.
Quality workmanship; easy to assemble.
Randi D.
We love our beds!!!
One of the best investments we've ever made for our gardens!
John G.
These grow beds are so nice! It seems like they are going to last forever. We are really happy with them.
Barbi O.
I've had complements on it and several people asking where I got them from
Kameron L.
Just got it ready. Super easy to put together. And the wife loves the color
kalynn w.
I wish I had a pic of stuff growing! We just planted it with herbs and micro greens.... one lonely tomato, which normally would be in the green house. Easy to put together, holes all lined up (my sister bought an off brand and we had to drill several holes) when the other side of my yard is ready I plan on adding 2 more. Thank you
Don P.
Obviously the wait was long but it ended up being well worth it. I have 3 of the 5 beds started and things are going well. They went together easy enough and look great. Also, there was a mix up in my order in regards to the number of beds sent on the initial shipment. I ordered 5 and only 4 were shipped on the first shipment. After talking with Kevin and the office they refunded a portion of my payment.
Great customer service!! Every time I have reached out I have received a quick response.
Looking forward to the harvest this year and many years of using the beds!!
Stephen W.
I was very impressed with the quality and the ease of putting my new raised bed together. It sure beats my two older ones that I built out of lumber. Thank you.
Steve W.
Kami C.
Perfect in front of the house! Tomatoes are already popping up beautifully!!! <3
Kris J.
Highly recommend these beds!
Durable & well made, thick walls and coating, so they will last a long time.
✅ Super easy to assemble.
Looks beautiful.
Maribeth B.
I love my new garden bed. So easy to assemble, I did it myself without any help. When my husband saw the finished bed and the big smile on my face, he asked "When are you buying another one?".
Terry V.
Hi Kevin,
Really happy with my birdies raised beds, now I can plant a lot more. Still a lot to learn as far as gardening, made a few mistakes already, my seedlings are leggy, I think I over crowded them too. Looking forward to buying some of the other great stuff listed on your webpage. Thanks.
Terry
Ulrike M.
Our rectangular Birdie bed, recently filled with home-made soil using Epic Gardening's coco coir, plus our home-grown oak leaves and donkey manure. I want to mention: we checked the electric conductivity of the coco coir and it's wonderfully low, great for making soil. These beds are so easy to assemble and very pretty. We bought two beds, but the second bed is still being filled in time for autumn planting season; time to collect a lot more donkey dung and oak leaves.
Rene A.
The Perfect raised bed option for me!
I got 3 of the beautiful mist green 8 in 1 beds. They were relatively easy to assemble in my living room and then carry outside. Now I am leveling them and applying hardware cloth underneath to keep out tunneling rodents. I look forward to filling with soil and planting in these beds for years to come! Thank you for making these beds available.
Ana N.
I love this easy to put up
Justin K.
2 filled with homemade blend. Patiently waiting for the next 2!! Love these beds!!!
Carey S.
These things are so well-made and very easy to assemble. I love mine. I have plans to order more as my garden expands.
Tyra T.
So far so good! We have put the raised bed together, it was pretty straightforward. We put cardboard as a base and added wood, last year's plant stalks, kitchen waste and soil. Need more soil, this is pretty huge! Then veggies and mulch. Looking forward to a higher experience this season. Looking forward to the arrival of my second Birdies Bed!
Daniel F.
Great raised bed gardening option. Would definitely recommend these raised beds to anyone. Easy to assemble and they look great. Can't wait for warmer weather to start getting plants in the dirt.
Julie L.
I love these beds! Love the color. Love how easy they were to assemble. I bought two of the Original 8-in-1 and assembled them myself. I still need to level out the garden space a bit. These will be for my dahlias (they won’t be planted until May) and will definitely be ordering more for my veggie garden. My husband is especially happy that he doesn’t have to build me beds!
Chris B.
I bought 3 of these and when they arrived I ordered 3 more. I have a sitting wall about 2.5 ft from the fence and I am using these as giant planter boxes to keep the soil off the fence. They look nice and work fine. I have the 2 x 8 ft shape and I did add 1/4 all thread in two places to keep the middle from bulging out.
Brandon M.
This raised bed looks so nice! It's a lot easier to put together than I thought it would be, and is super easy to move around. I plan on purchasing another one.
Maria C.
Very happy with my purchase!
Dustin P.
very easy to assemble. Only wish I would have ordered more while they were still in stock.
Tina C.
I have my first 6 up, ready for compost and waiting for the remaining 5 beds. This will be an EPIC garden year!!
Susan E.
The 8 in 1 went together so easily and it looks beautiful. Can’t wait until the weather warms up here in Minnesota to get it filled and start planting. Thanks again Kevin.
Jaynee J.
Received in time to fill it with soil and still wait a few more weeks for planting. It’s a great height to support deep tomato plant roots and I can’t wait to use it! The style and color are great. Assembly was straightforward.
Melissa M.
Such a nice product! Haven't put in soil yet as I am in a zone that is still a couple of months out for planting. Very easy to put together. It is easy to scratch painted outside so be careful when putting together. Great product & very reasonable price!
Erin S.
I saved my pennies to get these beds and was soooo excited to get them. They look better in my garden than I expected! My only “heads up” is that even with the protective plastic sheeting, they still get scratched.. at first I was annoyed and then realized I had to let it go and realize that overall you can’t tell. I’m excited to get these babies filled up and planted.
Kristina S.
I have a plot in a community garden, and I have redwood raised beds which are about 30 years old and are disintegrating and need to be replaced. One of my fellow gardeners told me about your raised beds, and I decided to try them, because they really are considerably less expensive than the wood ones. I only got two, because I am trying them out. I have one installed (pictured), and have yet to plant anything, but so far I am very happy with them, and looks like I'll be replacing the other beds in due time with your product. Very easy to install, and they look good, too! My garden helper also gives them "thumbs up."
Richard K.
Other than the wait for the shipping delay every thing about this style bed is positive thus far. I am 80 years old so simplicity of assembly and placement is important. It was easy to put together on site, my wife held the pieces as I put the screws in. The bed is very solid and makes a nice statement in my raised bed area. It is now loaded with soil and ready to plant our onions in along with a few companions allowing for plenty of room for bulbing. Based on my experience thus far I would purchase another one when ready.
Cynthia L.
The beds are all put together & ready for soil & my veggie garden plants. Hubby says it was easy to set up the three planters, the wench was good that came with it. Only complaint was removing the protective plastic, that's when I took over & removed it myself with no problem. All in all I'm very happy with the quality of my planters plus they look awesome! Will be getting a couple of round ones next.
Joel D.
Revamping our garden with Birdies raised beds from the nice folks at Epic Gardening. Wonderful to work with. We went back for more!
Chelsea B.
Quite happy with the beds. Really like the light green color and tall height. With the modular design I was able to pick a shape where I can reach all sides easily. The metal seems thick and sturdy, pieces assembled well.
Assembly was simple though a bit time consuming. The tall height is great for planting but it does take a lot of soil to fill the the large beds.
The only downside I have so far: during shipping a couple of the beds did not have enough padding, resulting in the powder coating getting scraped off some panels in a few spots. There was one piece of cardboard padding, which was easily ripped through during shipping due to sharp edges. I applied a clear coat to the beds to protect the exposed steel and will need to upkeep this clear coat.
Emily C.
I can’t wait to put my flowers and herbs in it! <3
Traci W.
Greetings from Fabulous Las Vegas! My bed isn’t quite done; I want to add a couple more drip lines for insurance, and then mulch with chipped straw. By this autumn, I should be able to answer definitively how well these Birdies Beds perform in heat.
So far, I can say I am delighted with the quality of the construction: rounded corners, no sharp edges, and a rubber topped edge. Having worked with galvanized metal before, and been cut on it, I appreciated the care and finish of this bed. Assembly was easy. It took me, recovering from a fractured ankle, about a half hour to put it together. (Hey, older people like me, do yourself a huge favor, and treat yourself to a Gorilla dump cart for hauling around soil and stuff. You’re welcome!) My neighbors find this an attractive addition to my front yard, I’m pleased to say. I have already ordered another Birdies Bed.
