They left it alone all summer, but last night? Total devastation.

How to Create a Non Toxic Raised Garden Bed

If you’re wondering how to create a non toxic raised garden bed, I am here to show you just how it’s done. And spoiler alert, it’s pretty easy! Especially with Waterlox products!

Now, we didn’t completely build our raised garden bed from scratch. I did end up purchasing one off of Amazon, but we wanted to tweak it and make it more custom. 

And to do that, I wanted to stain it. But I also wanted to make sure it was non toxic and food safe. Especially if I wanted to start planting food and/or vegetables in it eventually. So I needed to make sure I was using the right products for that.

The raised bed material we purchased was just unfinished fir wood. It is advertised as a rot-resistant wood, and while I could have just left it as is, I didn’t love the color of it on our front porch. Hence why I wanted to stain in and make it more custom.

So today I am going to take you through the whole process on how to create a non toxic raised garden bed and just how easy and simple it can be! I absolutely love the modern look this raised bed has and love the fact that it is truly non-toxic even more! 

Keep on reading to see how we took this store bough raised bed, and made it into a custom, organic raised bed garden that is perfect for our porch!

Completed Non Toxic Raised Garden Bed

Raised Garden Bed Dimensions

The first step is to make sure you have your dimensions correct for your raised garden bed. The one we ended up getting was 72x23x30 inches. And while the width of it was great for our porch, the height was a little too much. I’ll link the exact one we got below:

My vision for this elevated garden bed was to make it kind of like a flower window box. So I wanted it to be the same height as the window on our porch. And it was a tad too long. To remedy that, we just simply sawed off a couple of inches on the legs. 

All The Materials for Raised Garden Bed
Assembling the Raised Bed
Putting Together the Raised Bed
Putting together the raised garden bed.

We just marked the spot on the legs with a marker, and then used a saw to cut it down to the correct size. Easy peasy! You may remember that we have some metal garden beds down by our stock tank pool area too. 

Determining the Height for The Raised Bed
Marking Where To Saw
Sawing Down the Legs of the Bed
Sawing the Wood
Measuring the legs of the raised garden beds and determining where to cut them for the correct height.

With those, we didn’t do anything special to them. Just added in some garden soil and planted some blueberries, strawberries, and roses in them. However, for this raised garden bed, I wanted it to look even better since it was going on our front porch and you can see it from the driveway.

I don’t think a metal garden bed would have looked good here because they would have been too short for my vision! But, after cutting the legs down, we just needed to assemble the whole bed.

You could also build your own, but this is a great option if you’re short on time and just want a raised garden bed right away! Just get some ready to assemble garden bed kits and you are good to go!

What Stain Is Safe For Raised Garden Beds?

I used a combination of products from Waterlox products and I am going to share just how I used them to create a non toxic raised garden bed. The first product I used was their Waterlox TRUETONE Formula. This formula enhances the color and grain of the wood you are using with a buff-in color infusing tung oil.

Before Staining Raised Bed
Before Staining Non Toxic Raised Garden Bed
This is what the bed looked like before adding any Waterlox products to it.

It comes in 11 different colors and adds a rich color and water resistant protection. This formula is also easy to maintain, has a low odor, and is VOC compliant. You definitely want to use this product if you have anything that has untreated wood! 

I personally used the color Ebony for this formula and loved how it turned out. I thought it would work really well on our porch since we already have the darker colored rocking chairs and it does!

Waterlox Products
This is the first product I used.

How to Use Waterlox TRUETONE Formula

To use this product, you first want to stir the can thoroughly. Do not shake the can like paint! Then, to apply it to the raised garden bed, you are going to want to buff it in. You apply it kind of like you would a wax material. Buff it in with a rag, and let it dry 24-48 hours. 

After it’s done drying, you’re going to want to buff out the excess with another rag. You only apply one coat of this. Applying more than one coat doesn’t affect how much color goes onto the type of wood you are using. 

The Waterlox TRUETONE Formula is non-toxic when it is completely dried and cured. So this is a great choice over other water-based stains if you’re looking to truly create a non-toxic raised garden bed. Also, 90% of the resin portion of the formula is from renewable, natural resources as well. 

After applying Waterlox Products to Raised Garden Bed

This product is best used on interior wood surfaces, but you can also use on exterior wood surfaces as long as they are not in direct sunlight. Which, my raised bed is not because it is under our covered porch. However, you can also use this product in combination their MARINE Finishes for direct sunlight/UV projects.

You could also use a non-toxic paint to cover the organic raised garden bed with, but I wanted more of a wood stain look instead of paint. 

Applying Waterlox MARINE Satin Finish 

The next step for this non-toxic raised garden bed is to apply the MARINE Satin Finish once the TRUETONE formula is completely dry. This product preserves the beauty and integrity of outdoor and marine wood projects. The resin-modified Tung Oil in this formula provides a protective and elastic finish against sun/UV rays, harsh weather and moisture exposure. 

So you really need to use this non-toxic waterproof sealant in order to preserve the life of your raised garden bed. It also comes in two finishes- satin sheen and high gloss. I went with the satin sheen for my project.

Waterlox TRUETONE Formula
This is the next product I used.

How to Use Waterlox MARINE Finish

This product is much more easier to maintain than other exterior clear or surface finishes. However, it is not recommended to be used on pressure-treated wood so keep that in mind. 

To apply this product to my raised garden bed, I just brushed it on over top of the TRUETONE formula and let it dry a full 24 hours before applying another coat. I did a total of 3 coats, letting each coat dry 24 hours in between. 

After Applying Waterlox Sealer
The finish appears shiny at first, but then dries over time.

I know it seems like a long time to do all these steps, but in order to truly create a non toxic raised bed, this is the best way to do it! Plus, the Waterlox products are only non-toxic when fully dried and fully cured as I mentioned above, so it’s important to follow all these steps correctly.

Applying Waterlox MARINE Sealer

The last step is to apply the MARINE Sealer to the inside of the garden bed. This product is an exterior base/sealer coat for use on a hard surface with the MARINE finishing system. You must use a  Waterlox MARINE Finish when using Waterlox MARINE Sealer. 

Waterlox Marine Sealer
The last step to this process!

This product is not recommended for use on new pressure-treated wood (requires a 6 – 8 week weathering period) or lumber that is water-repellent treated (requires a minimum 12 month weathering period).

Before applying to the inside of the planter boxes, I wiped it all down with a damp rag, ensuring there wasn’t any dirt or debris inside before applying the sealer. Again, make sure to stir this product and not shake it, just like all the other Waterlox products as well. Then, I applied it all inside using a paintbrush. 

Applying MARINE Finish Inside Raised Garden Bed
You can see the difference here that the sealer makes to the inside of the bed!

The next step is to let it fully cure and dry. Which means do not plant anything in it for 7 days. After that, you can fill it up with as much organic soil as you want and get to planting!

Enjoy Your Non Toxic Raised Garden Bed

Now that you have completed all the steps to creating a non-toxic raised garden bed, you can fully enjoy it during this growing season! I am a little late in the game getting this project finished, so I can’t wait to start planting some late summer and early fall root vegetables and/or flowers. I’ll have to consider what to plant since I am approaching the less than warmer growing environment season now.

I haven’t had much luck with vegetable gardens before, the deer and small animals around our house always seem to eat them before they are fully ready. But having this raised bed on our porch will probably help with that. I have yet to see a deer walk up onto our porch so I may be safe! I do have a pretty green thumb, but vegetables are new ball game to me. 

After Applying all Waterlox Products
All ready to go now!

What to Plant in Raised Garden Bed?!

Most likely, I may just plant a lot of beautiful flowers inside of it and use it more like a window box. Especially since I can see it straight out of my office window and I would love to see a bed full of beautiful flowers while I am working!

But no matter what I plant, I will of course keep you all updated and show you just what I do! And I am glad I created this non-toxic raised bed with Waterlox products and not harmful chemicals. That way, if I do decide to plant food inside it, I know that there are no toxic chemicals to harm me.

Finished Non Toxic Raised Garden Bed

Organic gardening and human health are so important, and I try to make sure I am using the best material for that. And Waterlox is just perfect for that since it doesn’t have any harmful substances. So be sure to check them out if you’re looking to update a raised garden bed.

And, do y’all have a raised garden bed too? If so, I’d love to hear all about it! Whether you have metal beds, steel beds, a wood bed, or whatever! Let me know below and give me all the advice on what to plant right now!

It’s not just lining the tires up perfectly with the stress of others watching you do so… it’s also the chaos once I’m inside.
My intrusive thoughts? Fully convinced the wash will break, trap me inside, and I’ll be living in there forever 🚗💀
Please tell me I’m not the only one?! 😂

My car is still in the shop so I needed a rental. My car is still in the shop so I needed a rental. Got handed a full-on minivan.
Do I have kids? No.
Do I have cats that deserve to ride in style? Absolutely. 😎🐾 There’s so much room in here for me and all my non existent kids! 🤣

Rolling up to Trader Joe’s like I’ve got 4 toddlers and a juice box emergency… but it’s just me and my emotional support fur babies in the back. 😂

Soccer mom mode: unlocked.
Minivan life chose me, and honestly? I’m thriving. 🚐✨

No, it’s not a Bugatti. It’s a minivan. It’s No, it’s not a Bugatti.
It’s a minivan.
It’s the only rental they had.
And no, I don’t have kids, just cats. 😼🚐💅

Catch me pulling up to the pet store like I’ve got a trunk full of toddlers and a midlife crisis… but it’s actually just me and my emotional support felines living our best suburban fantasy. 🐾

Tuesday Treats is brought to you by some yummy and Tuesday Treats is brought to you by some yummy and easy frozen s’mores- but make them protein-packed and absolutely delicious 🤤🔥
I made these over the weekend and they were gone in seconds, safe to say they were a hit! 🙌

Here’s how to make them:
➡️ Mix @coolwhip with @truvani vanilla protein, and 2 tbsp of @jifbrand peanut butter
➡️ Scoop between graham crackers
➡️ Roll the edges in mini chocolate chips 🍫
➡️ Freeze for a few hours… then devour 😍

These taste like a treat, but sneak in some protein too. Win-win! 💪🍪
Would you try them?!👇

Is it even fall if you don’t set the table just Is it even fall if you don’t set the table just to look at it? 😂🍂 I’m obsessed with how cozy this tablescape turned out, especially with the candles lit! We rarely eat here (hello, kitchen island life 😅), but at least it’s dinner-party ready… just in case! 😉
