Bloom Instabrace

What's to love: Create a raised garden bed without tools.

What does it do: Whether planting cool-season vegetables or preparing for next spring, Bloom Instabrace can help create a 12- to 14-inch deep garden bed using 2-inch thick boards. The steel braces are the corners of the bed and the boards simply slide into place. They are available in different designs -- including dragonfly and sun cutouts -- to add some personality to the garden. The sets are made by Bond Manufacturing, have a limited lifetime warranty and sell for $123.44.
