Lightweight Concrete Stackable Garden Beds

Make stackable lightweight concrete panels that link together to make long-lasting rot-proof garden beds. In this episode I mix and pour two lightweight concrete blends and cast garden box panels that can be stacked to create deep garden beds. The panels link together at right angles to make a square or rectangular raised garden beds. They can also be linked end-to-end to lengthen the garden box. The two lightweight concrete blends replace the gravel in a portland cement based concrete with perlite or vermiculite. Perlite and vermiculite are minerals that are naturally light and abundant and make an excellent alternative to heavier gravel. The panels are poured in plastic ABS vacuum formed molds with removable pipes to form holes in each end. BLOG POST: https://manabouttools.com/deepbeds MOLDS: https://manabouttools.com/store-plast...
