Spring is the best time to plant our favorite flowers and veggies, but even if you have good soil and affordable fertilizer, you still need a place for your plants to live. A quality raised garden bed will improve your soil’s drainage while also protecting your plants from pests (think rabbits and possibly slugs). Right now is a great time to get one—Walmart just came out with a deal on these popular wooden raised garden beds, and they're nearly 50% off.
The Costway Wooden Vegetable Raised Garden Bed is usually $129, but you can now get it for $70 at Walmart as part of a Flash Deal that saves you $59. This is a popular garden bed at Walmart, with over 150 five-star ratings from shoppers who note its ease of assembly and natural appearance. Walmart notes that this model has fewer returns than others like it, meaning when customers buy this they like it and keep it.
Costway Wooden Vegetable Raised Garden Bed, $70 (was $130) at Walmart
Measuring 97-by-25 inches with a middle divider, this raised bed gives you a total of approximately 16.8 square feet of planting space. That should be enough for around eight cabbages on one side and dozens of carrots on the other, or a tremendous wildflower display across the whole bed. At 10 inches high, you won’t need a ton of soil to fill it but will still get the advantages of a raised bed. Plus, it is bottomless, so lengthy roots can continue down to your regular soil. It boasts a 100% fir wood construction, which is why we’re seeing customers say they can “just smell cedar” upon opening the box.
While the bed looks complex, the assembly is quite easy. One customer reported that her “10 and 12-year-old sons were able to put the boxes together.” Another customer, who has six of these garden beds, noted that “assembly takes between 20 to 30 minutes.”
What grows best in these fine Costway garden beds? If you’re a first-timer, you can use our beginner’s gardening guide to get started, but really, the sky’s the limit. One customer reported successfully growing “everything in these from tomatoes to even grapevines!” Another user mentioned they “Bought two of these for my flowers and plan to get more for veggies.”
The Costway wooden raised garden bed is just $70 at Walmart, but not for much longer. That’s because it is part of a temporary Walmart Flash Deal that saves you $59 (nearly 50% of the original price) off of the usual $129. Due to the nature of Flash Deals, the high popularity of this item, and the fact that many customers buy multiples, you’ll want to take advantage of this deal soon.
