The 4’x8’ garden bed is iconic in the raised bed gardening world - but with recent increases in the price of lumber, other configurations might yield better value for money. Let's do the math!
Interesting article. A lot of thought went into it. I would also consider efficient use of the lumber. A 4' x 8' bed using three 8' boards (one board cut in half for the short ends) has 0 wasted wood. It's just the perfect size, for me anyway. Thank you for the great morning read with my coffee.

Darn it! I meant to add a section about that - yes zero waste is important!
