Hi there!

From what I’ve shared so far about building large raised beds and hugelkultur-style beds, I lean on a pretty simple but solid toolkit:

  • Shovel and spade for digging and shaping beds
  • Hard rake for leveling bumpy ground
  • Wheelbarrow or garden cart to move wood, soil, and compost
  • Hand trowel for detail work and transplanting
  • Tape measure and stakes/string to square and line up beds
  • Drill/driver, screws, and a saw if you’re building wooden frames
  • Work gloves and sturdy, closed‑toe shoes (learned this the hard way with the “wrong shoes” in that prep photo!)

What size raised beds are you planning to build and on what kind of site (slope, lawn, existing garden)?
