I need to build some raised beds this year and have no idea how to do it. Where can I find clear, easy plans to get this done?

I’m an organic farmer and really enjoy the info Harrowsmith has, one of the first back in the ‘70 before it was “in” to be organic. Hope this helps!
Yrs. ago I caught a program on PBS called square foot gardening , the gentleman who hosted the show was also the author of several square foot gardening books . I have found them in several libraries across the states . They have an abundance of info on raised beds . It’s the only way I garden now and I have plenty of room to go out not up but you can’t beat the ease of raised beds
I have built many raised gardens and I use landscape bricks. I use the 7″ bricks and it is extremely easy to assemble. You just lay it how long you want then alternate the bricks. Check it out with Home Depot, Lowes, or any hardware store. Then you fill it with top soil with compost and you are good to go. It is easy to do–I am a woman and also assembled a raised bed the length of my house (with a broken hand) in a couple of hours. You can do it.
