Am installing some timber raised beds soon. The area I plan to place them in is covered with gravel which is on top of black woven membrane. I plan to scrape away the gravel, so the beds are resting on the membrane. My question is: will the soil leach out under the boards? Do I need to line the beds to stop the soil vanishing? Would prefer not to line if possible so would very much appreciate any advice from anyone who has done this before. Many thanks
