Raised beds - Page 2

Hi All

Well the beds are built and I have to say thanks so much for all the suggestions. In the end we went for old scoffolding planks and we covered them in decking wood (on the outside) to make a nice effect and they turned out great.

Now we are waiting for our compost to arrive and all will be well with the beds.

Thanks to everyone for all your help.

... as somebody has already asked, could you please let us know how / where you sourced the scaffolding planks ?!?

I need to do this myself, being unemployed I have the time but no real cash, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance ...

+1 to question asked by Vodkasoda. I'm also looking for free planks for a raised bed, but no luck so far...

so these guys ask for and receive generous support for their project and then when asked to reciprocate with some small bit of info to add to the knowledge base here they are no where to be seen, take what you can get and then bugger off, to make a programme about community living! In all my days I have never met a mean spirited gardener, gardeners you are not jumbletowners you will never be. I hope your tv programme is the success you deserve.
