This video from The Honest Carpenter will show you how to construct extremely strong, DEEP raised garden beds. These are two-board garden beds made from 2x10s, so they're nearly 20" deep. Please note, however, that I have constructed these beds out of treated lumber at the client's request--I've included some warning information about treated lumber in the video. (Feel free to weigh in with more info about treated lumber in the comment section if you know about the topic.)

Tool List:
Circular Saw or Miter Saw
Table Saw (optional)
Drill/Driver
Drill Bits
Tape Measure
Speed Square

Material List:
3" Exterior Screws
2" Exterior Screws
2x10 Lumber (width optional)
5/4 Deck Board

How-To:
1) Square up the ends of your new boards
2) Measure and cut components for your raised garden bed dimensions
3) Diagonal rip corner braces (optional)
4) Rip deck board pieces for center braces (optional)
5) Miter ends of braces for appearance (optional) and cut to length
6) Construct lower level of raised garden beds on level surface preferably: pre-drill through boards at slight angle, set 3" fasteners (4 per outer corner)
7) Install corner braces on inner corners. Set fasteners at angles to grab boards on both sides of corner
8) Move raised garden beds into place if necessary
9) Construct second level of raised garden beds similar to first. Use standing corner braces for support
10) Attach corner braces to inner corners of upper level
11) Use speed square and drill to align and attach center braces along inner wall of raised garden beds
