Electric Power Poles Used To Build Raised Bed Gardens
I used old electric power poles from our local electric co-op to build this pair of raised bed gardens. They measure 18 ft. long, 5 ft. wide and 18 in. high.
    I used a loader tractor to set the poles in place, drilling holes through the bottom poles and driving 1/2-in. rebar through the poles and into the ground to hold them in place. Lengths of perforated plumber’s strapping at all 4 corners help secure them. I didn’t spend much money on my ‘pole garden’ and I like how it turned out.
