SWMBO wants some raised beds made, railway sleepers or similar.


While on the subject...

Design issues:

What is the optimal depth? Ideal size?

I looked at some ready made kits, and they all seemed quite shallow -
some as little as 6". Many made from very skimpy timber as well.


I was thinking 18" to 24" high.


I run at 9-12"
