Raised beds are a great way to grow plants, vegetables, and herbs, especially when the soil is too rocky or tough to plant them in the ground. When a local Girl Scout troop reached out to the team at Ask This Old House about their old raised beds, the team couldn’t wait to get to work designing solutions. And general contractor Tom Silva’s design appears to be quite a challenge on its own: a double-hexagon raised bed.

But, it doesn’t have to be that complicated, and Tom shows host Kevin O’Connor just how simple it is. This guide will explain the process.

Difficulty: ⅗
Cost: Around $120
Time: 6 hours
