[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3351386, member: 5412"] Our friend has raised beds so one doesn't have to bend over. Pressure treated wood for the basic frame and scrap tin for the sides and bottom. You want it to drain so gaps in the corners are necessary. They raise some great tomato's and other veggi's. Since the soil/potting soil is so shallow, you have to send in for a soil test to see if you've been adding too much this or that, or need to add some more this or that. The raised beds are much more soil remediation necessary than natural soil gardening. You don't use standard dirt in raised beds. A mix of potting soil, peat, and dirt is required. Lots of info online to get the right mix. [/QUOTE]
