Default drainage in boxes

I am going to make my wife a large raised bed for her salad plants as she
has trouble bending,but still likes to potter in the garden.This will be
very simply,a box on legs.Firstly do I line It with plastic and secondly do
I need to drill holes for drainage? As a matter of interest I got the idea
from an excellent magazine called Kitchen Garden I have just dicovered.

There was an article by Colin Shaw in the Nov 2001 issue of KG magazine
which gave more details about the similar thing he constructed ' A
Simple Lettuce Table"

If out house wasn't such chaos at the moment I'd offer to find the issue
and do a scan of the article........

And I see also on the KG website that someone this morning has started a
thread about this exact same thing on their web forum.
