I'm laying out a "four-square" garden at my place in central Maine. I'd
like to use some kind of precast concrete planks to create the
rectangular raised beds, but I haven't found much.

Anyone have any sources for concrete raised beds? I'd like to stick with
long planks if possible so I don't have to do as much fussing and
adjusting as they heave in the ground.

Thanks for any advice.

I made a couple of 18 x 4 foot beds from concrete pavers. The pavers
are 12in x 24in x2in. I trapped them in some surplus steel channel
such that the blocks form 2 in thick walls 12 inches high. They seem
to be working pretty well. I have enough scrap to build two more
after the weather cools a bit in the fall.
