Does anyone have any tips on sources of planks to make raised beds?
Preferably cheap / free and in or near Manchester?

Cheers

Don't know about your area Mike but around here (Milton Keynes) a
tour around the industrial estates comes up with a mountain of the stuff,
mainly pallets that can be broken down and used for whatever.
All free
Possibly the same where you are.

Also some building firms dump planks that are past their sell by date for
safety but will do for the garden and they may drop them off for you if you
ask
