Permanent Raised Bed Gardening: Planting Techniques for Raised Bed Gardens
 Dimensions of the Noble Foundation rolling row marker |

Cotter pin used to secure threaded rod to axle body |
| Close up of rolling marker |
| Mounting additional marking wheels onto axle |
The ability to lock two or more wheels in any position along the length of the axle simply by tightening and loosening nuts is what makes this design so versatile. As with the template row marker, the rolling marker must be calibrated for use on 40-inch-wide beds. Use the calibration guide and a permanent marker to locate and label wheel settings on the face of the axle body.
Consider using a wood preservative to extend the life of your rolling row marker and minimize wheel warping. For extra protection, apply a coat of polyurethane, especially to the wheels.
