Rake in pine shed close to conservatory (4)

I believe the answer is:

earn

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'rake in' is the definition.
(as in raking in money)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for earn that I've seen before include "Make - merit" , "Obtain (money) in return for labour or services" , "Bring home" , "Take home" , "Secure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
