So the gardening bug has hit you. I started a raised bed area 2 years ago and its just the best of crack. I attached DPC (damp proof course) its the black stuff that is put around the base of all houses, around the inside of each box to keep the soil from touching the timber. It's just an idea for you, you'd get a longer life out of what ever timber you decide to use. Any timber provider will offer you advice on the best sizes to use and if they are as helpful as mine will even cut them to measure. It would fit in your car then!!!The one thing to def remember is leave at least 3 feet between each bed. Start small. 4 boxes...... The kitchen Garden, magazine has a super section on the recycled garden. The ideas are fantastic. Well worth buying before you start turning the sod. Also take lots of photo of the work...... Good luck
