These are all pretty much comparable, and I've used many varieties of them. This one is probably a thinner metal compared to others but honestly once you get soil packed in they are all sturdy and hold up.
Had to check the dimensions for the April '26 Aldi galvanized bed and it's smaller at 14.37" x 12.60" x 4.53", but does inclued a rubber rim to add on the edge. So going with the Amazon order.
I think that's incorrect. Yes, the aldi website[aldi.us] lists those dimensions, but doing more research and it seems that's simply the size of the box that it comes in. The parts assemble to a 4'x2'x1'.
If you look at the photo that is shown on the aldi website, there's no way the ratio of 14"x12" is correct. That would result in a squareish bed.
This photo of the actual product in its box looks more accurate to a 14x12x4 inch box, and showing the assembled product that will be 4x2x1 feet. https://www.facebook.com/photo.ph...000&type=3

Is the coffee ground used to raise the PH? like make it acidic?
There are some websites that claim coffee grounds will affect the soil pH but there is no science backing that.
As /u/soymilkmania mentioned, it's a great source of nitrogen. For me, I also use it as top dressing/soil amendment as I have horrible clay soil that's impossible to dig into or grow anything. So I just grab as much coffee grounds as I can (my local Starbucks and coffee places are more than happy to give me as much as I can take) and spread them on my soil. I did start with doing trenches first but I've just started to top dress directly. It composts very quickly and the smell seems to help some of the critters away too.
Coffee grounds is a great source of nitrogen. I Never thought of getting them from the coffee store though, that's a great idea.
In addition to coffee places, if you have a juice bar locally, they are a great source of green material - vegetable/fruit peels, rinds, etc. It's almost too much but if you the space or if you do trench composting, it's a cheap way to get a lot of material.

Thank you, I only went by the dimensions on the site, and was oblivious to the dimensions on the pictured box 🤦 ♀️.

Have you had a good results with the produce after you started putting coffee ground in your soil? I will get some.
