Rollable raised bed made from onion sieves
Sometimes it's just time for a change, and your raised bed is ready to move. But how do you get that devilishly heavy thing to the other side of your garden? That's right, you need a raised bed on wheels !
This is what you need
Tools:
- nail puller
- screwdriver
- pincers
- Cordless drill
- stapler
Material:
- Three tulip bulb strainers
- screws
- Four transport rollers
- Weed fleece (approx. 140 x 110 cm)
And off we go
- Disassembly : Remove the mesh flooring from two of the three crates by using a nail puller or a wide flat-blade screwdriver to pull out the heads of the old nails far enough so that you can then pull them out completely with the pliers. Next, remove all four side wooden planks from the posts of one of the crates.
"If you're having trouble pulling the nails out, you can simply saw through them with a jigsaw. This is faster and saves a lot of effort. However, you should have a metal blade attached."
-
Reassembly : Now stack the bottomless colander on top of the still completely intact onion colander . Connect the posts, which are now stacked on top of each other, by screwing the loose posts from the completely disassembled box to the inside of the two posts as connectors. Finally, screw the loose boards to the outer wall so that they fill the space between the boards of the upper and lower boxes.
If you sawed correctly, the whole thing should now look like this - Now it's time to drill: Turn your raised bed upside down and drill a hole in all four corners. The diameter of the holes should be just large enough to accommodate the bolts of your casters. If your casters don't have bolts, simply screw them into all four corners.

Completing therolling raised bed : Now line the interior, including the floor, with weed control fabric. Staple the fabric to the upper inner edge of the side walls and trim off any excess. Now all you need to do is fill it with soil, humus, etc., and you can start planting.
Now staple the plant fleece and you're done.
