For anyone who has ever wanted to build a raised garden bed, but didn't have the tools, know-how, time or potentially the space, former teacherĀ Jill Plumb invented the M Brace, an easy, eco way to build raised garden beds without tools. A real problem solver, the M Brace ($165/set of 4 braces) is:
Adjustable ā Decide the length and width of the perfect raised bed for any size space - the braces can fit a small space or adjust up to 12 feet per side for a larger space; square or rectangular, you decide. Choose any kind of lumber, even old fence boards or grapes stakes, and simply slide them into the braces, then add soil and plant.
Eco-friendly - Not only are M Braces made of recycled steel, they're also manufactured in the US.Ā Ā
Portable and Reusable ā Changing garden plans? Simply change the length of the boards as needed. Moving or live in a rental and can't build anything permanent? Slide out the boards, then take them and the M Brace along.
Stylish - Whether the garden is modern, classic cottage or somewhere in between, one of eight different laser cut designs adds the perfect accent to any garden style.
The M Brace is available online at www.artofthegarden.net, as well as a growing list of retail locations in the U.S.
