Default Raised bed advise

Hi Mike

Thank you for the reply. The reason I am sitting it on pond liner
and slabs is as my mum doesnt really have anywhere that I can put a
raised bed directly in the earth. I am currently restricted to
containers but I wanted to get a raised bed so I could sow more.

The link is http://www.suttons.co.uk/pd_566926_Raised_Bed_Kit.htm for
the kit that I am looking at.


Looks like a good easy solution. I still wouldn't use the pond liner,
though: you could end up with a miniature swamp. (Whatever you do, you
won't, of course, be able to move the bed when it's full of your chosen
growing medium.) I'm also sceptical about the potatoes the woman in the
picture is planting: I'd expect them to want a double-depth one.
