I thought best to post from original. Flame war starting up.

One can build above ground garden containers with solid bottoms to grow
most vegetable plants safely. Build the containers table high with
drainage holes and screens that allow water to leave and hold in the
soil. The boxes could be on legs. Create your own safe organic soil
mixtures. I have seen four foot high garden beds made with bricks from
the ground up that also looks great. Raised garden beds made with large
rocks can also look great and be functional.

You will have to search yourself for plans to make such things. The
table types will need to be strong and durable with food safe materials
(if such materials exist). Also rock walls that hold up even in the
winter. Just hope you have lots of moneys, such things are not cheap.

Do not not let the flame war keep you down! Above is just another idea.
Just keep on dreaming and hope it all works out.

Enjoy Life ... Dan

Thanks for your response. Your reply has given me some useful ideas which I will follow up.

I must say that after the first couple of responses I thought I had posted onto something other than a gardening site.

Again Dan thanks for the info very helpful.

Regards

Jo
