Step 1:
Firstly, wear your gloves.
Clean up the area using a shovel and remove some of the plants around the space of your garden.
Once done, make the base of the raised garden.
One by one, place the cinder blocks on the perimeter.
Put construction adhesive on the sides to stick them together.
It is better to choose a size that doesnt require cutting for a smooth finish.
ensure that the cinder blocks are leveled using a level ruler.
Use a cloth to smoothen it out.
Once done, create the second layer.
Put some more adhesive on top of the first layer then place the cinder block on top.
Dont forget to add adhesive on the sides as you work on the second layer.
Some construction adhesive allows repositioning for 20 minutes so you might still fix it if its not leveled.
Sand it for a smooth finish.
Next glue using construction adhesive.
Put some extra cinder blocks or heavy objects on top to secure.
Let it cure for 24 hours.
Step 4:
Its time to paint your raised garden.
Using a sponge or cloth, stain the wood to your preferred color.
Next, paint the base with white paint.
Once dried, put the soil inside and you are done.
