I saw something on a gardening programme today which interested me.
Someone made a raised bed with wooden bricks. They had holes in them
through which pegs were hammered to keep them together. I wondered if
anyone knows who supplies them, or has any experience of using them?

I considered using wooden beams to close in my raised beds, but his
Bobness - Duke of Flowerdew ( for it is he ) - suggested that closing
in the beds prevented easy access by beetles and other predators of
common garden pests..whilst being ideal for slugs and millipedes to
climb up.
Over time you end up with a sort of 'Lost World' paradise for slugs.

I left my beds open, and now I have lots of little Doug McClure's
running about....
