Hi All

I need some help. We are currently making a new tv series called 'Living lightly'. We have found a wonderful family from longford who have agreed to live lightly for the next few months.

One of the challenges we have set the family is to start to grow there own veg. The soil in the garden isn't great so we are now going to do raised beds.

We need to try and organise quite a bit to get the garden up and running. One thing I am trying to source is the wood.

I have been given wood measurement of 8ft by 5ft and it needs to be 10 inches high and 2 inches deep. I need it to be untreated does anyone know what type I should be looking for? or if there is anywhere I can find it? I have phone quite a few places at this stage and I'm having no luck.

Also I am trying to source compost in the Longford area. Does anyone know of anywhere localy that gives away free compost?

I also need some good topsoil does anyone know where I can find that?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

replies to thread please
