In life’s equation of work put in vs fulfillment taken out, there may be nothing that beats gardening, but these awesome concrete garden blocks make the equation even more favorable, as they allow for the quick and toolless assembly of raised garden beds.
The ageless activity of gardening is backed up by countless studies showing its ability to improve quality of nature, health, and mental wellness, but depending on the characteristics of the soil you’re working with, sometimes it can be a battle against weeds.
Raised garden beds remove the need for constant de-weeding, but they need to be built, which may involve tools one is not knowledgeable in the use of.
Oldcastle Planter Wall Blocks, which may also be called Permacon Wall Blocks, are Lego-like concrete corner blocks formed to easily hold in place a 2×6 wooden board of any length.
Costing between $14.00 to $4.00 per block depending on the retail location (they are readily available at Lowes and Home Depot) three of them can be stacked on top of one another creating 18 inches of soil depth, enough to accommodate most ornamental shrubs and any kind of vegetable.

Another big advantage of the planter wall blocks is that they can be deconstructed just as easily, and don’t involve prying out any nails or drawing out any screws; just simply empty out the soil and pull the wooden board out of its slot.
With a dozen of these and some lumber, a person might be able to make two or four raised beds at around $45-$60 per bed, which the New York Times ‘Wirecutter’ section reports is half to a third of the price of existing kits.
